Thankyou for your comments.
Have just had a pleasant session turning some pointy things from scraps of ebony and box and using masonry nails or dismembered cheap scribes. These are most useful around the workshop and begged by non-turning colleagues.
Regarding the requests for pictures of my output, I have never bothered to photograph what has gone so I can only show what is still kicking around the house.
Chairs and a drop dial in cherry, regulator and telephone table in genuine mahogany, corner long case in cheap mahogany, bookcase/cupboard and desk in english oak, spinning wheel.over the years -hundreds of bobbins, these are waiting to be finished.

You've made some beautiful things, taking a whole lot of skill. I particularly like the proportions on the bookcase. The chair is very good as well. very well done!

In your last picture are they bobbins or shuttles? I think I've seen similar things in paintings of lace making. Fascinating. I really like the spinning wheel, the proportions and detailing are just right.

They are lace bobbins, of all the things I turn they are the most challenging.This is because the neck has to be so thin, 1/8" [3mm] is the norm so you can imagine the number of breakages that occur at that point. Also they have to be an identical pair for the lace making process ,making one is challenging but producing a twin is something else ! Very satisfying when you get it right. Mistakes only cost time as there is very little expenditure on materials, it's mainly offcuts and close grained.Defect free, fruitwoods work well. The blanks can be seasoned quite quickly at that size. An experienced lace maker will easily have 50 pairs [100 bobbins] on the go for each piece of lace they are working on.
I'm particularly impressed with the way that you've got the clock weights and pendulum to stick out so rigidly to the right! No hint of curve to the strings.

Is the lace under the pots on the telephone stand home made?
