More bits.

Yes more pieces asked for.
Lovely piece of Apple that i've had cut up since last year,and this is the result.Turned out nice i think
Sizes are 8" dia x 3" deep,finished with Food Safe oil.

And here are me bottle stops.
Used off cuts of Apple,Beech,and Cherry Plum,which turned lovely,and left some very nice colouring in.

More T-lighters.Again all from off cuts of Beech and Splated Sycamore

Hope you like em

All very nice Paul,

The Bottle Stoppers look great ! - What do you use for the insert ? - Looks like cork/wood dowel with some kind of sheath ?

Lovely neat clean looking work there Paul. Nice to see a one off bowl as well. Beautiful wood. Good that it stayed in one piece.

Really like the bowl Paul. spectacular figuring and the thin walls give it almost a porcelain look to my eyes.

No Loz i made these from one piece of wood,turning the dowel part first,held in chuck jaws, to 14mm dia,than turning that round so the dowel is held in the chuck and then turned and finished the knob part.I left the dowel part bear wood.

Thanks Chas.It is a poor piccy really.One of those where i just couldn't get a good clear one :roll: but it did finish really nice.
I have another lump to turn so can't wait to do it.

Thank you for the comments,glad you like em
The bowl blank very nearly got cut up into smaller pieces as there was a split right down the middle,and had cupped quite bad,but it just shows again what can be turned out from what looked like a poor piece of wood
