i cant iunderstand why the group pic looks slightly blurred??? i'lll try a slightly bigger pic and see if that helps

Nice boxes.


If you try to take a close up photo quite often you will have some blurriness. Try standing back and then zoom to fill the frame. That's what I do with pens

I've been using LO and I really like it. Will post some pics when I get round to it.

What camera are you using George? Try taking the image on a tripod and take the pic using the timer, so that you're not touching the camera when it clicks.

its not blurry on the full size image- oh well- it'll do

How do you get the beads evenly spaced> Do you measure or just have a good eye for it.

I just eye them pete-I actually cut a series of shallow coves that get bigger as they get further down.

Very nice trio George
How tall are they,and is the Spalted Beech dry :?:

 

[cornucopia]

the tallest is 19" and yes the spalted beech is dry- when i cut my vase/hollow form blanks i somtimes cut these pieces from the sides of the logs if there big enough.

Looking good, how do you hollow it out?

Looking good, how do you hollow it out?

its not hollowed very deep (maybe 4") to aid stability and to allow the box to be used- so i only used a spindle gouge on its side.

It must be like an oven in there today George.
