Wine bottle stoppers ?
While they may might make a great gift, I've yet to meet anyone who has ever found the need to use one !

LOTR (Lord Of The Rings) for those not in the know..... now this isn't some clever Tolkien reproduction, nor am I a lord.... lol, but I have made some wood rings, set on stainless steel for the non inlay, and titanium for the inlaid ones, the woods used are zebrano, walnut and two in oak burr

Still turning out trees forthe crimbo market and got down to my last two large pieces today. So on the last one treated my self to a little play and came up with this drsign not exactly Christmas tree looking.
had a mishap with my walnut stain, but decided to leave it as it was like branches
Yesterday saw the end of the Christmas trees and when I got down to my last three small blocks, experimented with new forms shapes and finishing.

Very nice
Can't show 99% of what I've been doing without ruining secret santa but I can show these little bells made from my last bit of Sequoia and some copper cable, they were originally for something else but I didn't like it so changed their use
Hi all, just when I thought I was finished making bowls for Christmas
We wrapped up the bowls I had made, put names on them..... ahhhh four short
So today started again, stopped for a coffee at 12 noon and what with “little “ jobs and popping up the church it was 4pm before I got back out to the lathe. 5pm my self imposed cut off time I had finished one bowl. I am using pine that is full of sap/resin and I had to stop frequently to clean the gouge and sharpen it.
Started making a lid for a pot that I made out of spelted silver Burch... the only was I can describe it is the wood exploded. Bits flying everywhere, thank goodness that I start slow and stand to one side out of harms way
