Post a photo of the last thing you turned

Here’s yesterdays attempt, oak bowl which I scorched on the outside, filled cracks with black ca glue, then polished with gold Hampshire Sheen.

I like the Holly podlet with the round bulbous base looks like it has just grown there

I think you're getting the hang of this 'Turning Lark'

just about

Another cherry bowl, this one was very awkward to hollow resulting in the finish not being very good, there are a few tool marks and a little tear out that I couldn't get rid off, the hole is quite small so sanding was very difficult. Finished it with linseed oil.

Here's yesterdays effort from an Ovangkol disc that TGW had bought for my Birthday but only just got round to turning it. Sanded to 600 then 2 coats microcrystalline.

@stenik that's stunning

And a small potpourri container from a few off cuts stuck together

Today started out great cut the remaining piece of small cherry log in half and turned a pretty nice bowl, got dangerously thin in one spot but managed to keep it together

Then I mounted the remaining piece and spent just over an hour shaping and polishing the outside then hollowing, near the end of hollowing I got a catch that meant going a bit deeper, thought I had enough room so flipped it and started turning the tenon off and.....

Fortunately I will possibly be able to remove the bottom and turn a new foot for it as long as it doesn't warp too much.

Ahem!! That is not a funnel! It's a very fashionable lampshade.

That's very impressive.

So a bit of a slow start today, running low on dry/usable wood so was stood staring at my stockpile for a while, ended up settling on using up some bits I had lying to one side ranging from 2 to 3 inches diameter, the next conundrum was what to make with it, the bark (if you can call it that) is very spongy and doesn't stay on very well, threw a bit in the chuck, started removing wood and ended up with these little beauties,

Can anyone guess the wood? Hint- it smells like black pepper whilst cutting it

I'm really liking those Shrooms Stig, very organic looking.

I haven't turned anything in the last few days, but something 'turned' up this afternoon. Just wanted to share the news as I'm a bit excited.

I just missed a ProEdge for £120.

I like the Andy's Workshop sign - a bit more refined than the sign I've been given for mine.
