That’s a very kind gesture Stigmorgan, thank you. I’ll pm you shortly.Fareham is only an hour from me, if you fancy the drive I'm sure I can sort some spare wood for you to play with

Coming along handsomely eagerly awaiting the finished resultWill stick this here seeing as it's part of the project I posted yesterday, I did use the lathe though, I used a carbide burr in my Jacobs chuck to remove material, would have used my dremel but I can't get to it at the minute, still a lot of sanding to do but I'm pretty happy with it even though it took nearly 4 hours to get this far

I thought we could start a thread showing our latest woodturning projects, photos large or small all are appreciated. Please do join in if you're able to.
I'm still very much a novice, but here's some pics from today.
I started off making a bathroom light pull from a bit of Oak that I had laying around, I wasn't happy with the finished shape so I pulled a bit of Plum from the firewood pile to make another. My eldest son has just moved into his own home and I thought he'd appreciate having a light pull.
I was given a small spalted Sycamore blank a few months ago and today I turned it into a Salt Pinch bowl, I made the top from a bit of Oak board cut-off.
I confess to having taken the easier option of using the tenon as the foot, there are some small compression marks left behind from the chuck.

Thanks. IIRC it was Hampshire Sheen High Gloss finish.They look great . Nice finish. What do you use?
Have you seen some of the carp I've started with? I must be certifiable thenI think any sane turner wood have passed it by or thrown it, so cracked at the branch ends and very unstable at the beginning.
I must say that’s one of the best I’ve seen for a long while so natural looking and showing the history of theBeen waiting for new chucks to arrive for my lathe so during that time have been renovating the doors to the work shop took longer than anticipated but they are done now so have been trying out the new chucks and went with an apple crotch piece. I think any sane turner wood have passed it by or thrown it, so cracked at the branch ends and very unstable at the beginning. Well anyways glad I stuck with it for the last two days and this is the end result.View attachment 185472View attachment 185473View attachment 185474View attachment 185475View attachment 185476View attachment 185477
