Post a photo of the last thing you turned

Here is an image of the plastic handles that I did to take out to site nothing special unlike yours, the top one was sawn to octagonal the rest went through the planer.

I made two sets of London pattern in wood that I sold on when I stopped work I have some images of those but cannot locate them at the moment.

Very well-done, IMO!
I have never worked plastic in this manner. I have sawn plastic, but never planed it. Any special precautions?
I may want to give that a try!

This plastic I used was not a hard plastic (ask for a butchers block plastic) so cuts clean like wood, I cut 3 V's in a 18" x 7" timber screwed on a stop at each end then placed the offcuts into it and fed it through and keep rotating till they were looking good.
I used the same block to cut the octagonal wood for the other chisels, so once you have made up the block you can keep using it and it does save you a lot of planing time.

Not really a fan of pine but loved the grain pattern and the contrast between heart and outer wood.

My first effort at a figure. In sycamore with intrinsic stain on the hat and belt, finished with shellac and beeswax. It's not perfect but learned a lot for number 2.

That is so cool . Nice one!
