Turned a base for another of my paper birds, whilst it was between centres I was thinking of how best to display the bird that is modelled to look like it's about to land, then it hit me, it's spring why not make it a nest complete with eggs, a quick jump to Google to get the egg dimensions and here we go, not sure that wood the base/nest is as i was given it by a gardener who said it was a shrubs he had removed, it's got a gorgeous purple streak in it, the eggs are Hawthorn.

Love it just hope my first at segmented turning will be good as yours
A simple crisp bowl.
Now the work shop is all back up and running I was commandeered to make a picture frame for stephs budda monks painting. So good busy on that and knocked the job out using some tianna
the job left me wanting a router table but there's really no room in the workshop for one of those so its been assigned to my wish list. Some may remember this from an earlier post
my ash rope bowl which I've been using as my crisp dish. But it's really a bit on the small side.
To remedy this I chose the last of the Norwegian pine that had been given to me by steohs dad. Months back I had first tuned it and squirreled away on one of the shelves to dry. This piece had radail cracks a nasty horizontal crcak bit of rot spalting and loads of tear out which made it the perfect candidate for my new crisp bowl. Sharp tools slowl to medium speeds I had at it and eventually ended up with this measuring 20cm across and 10cm high.
and as you can see it easily holds a full packet of crips. Happy bunny

Productive day today was given these cut outs to play with my turning before last Christmas. 
and decided on two small bowls one with a lidded top, with one of the flower designs rebated into the top with a black walnut handle and the other rebated into the bowls rim, using the flower cut out as the cover itself
I believe the handle for that was irocco but cant be certain as it was in my saved small bits box. Steph was over the moon with that one as it was a belated christmas gift.

You may not be that pleased with it, but I think it's brilliant and I believe Mondrian would have been impressed too!
A little lidded pot, made at short notice for SWMBO s friends birthday (that she forgot)
Cherry, chestnut and mango
In the rush to get it done - in a couple of evenings (after work and family dinner etc.) I over did the pot and lid so the fit is a little lose but hey ho still look OK.

Of course, it depends on 'how loose' the lid is but sometimes a rub with a wax stick on the mating edge of the lid can help with a 'snugger' fit.
Hey thanks for that, I'll give it a try next time.
It was actually finished with yourkshire grit and Hampshire sheen, which is a type of wax I think
Nonetheless thanks
Also a slightly looser fit may be a good thing with 2 different wood species with such a large difference in grain density

Thought I'd put this long ago started but recently finished tit box up. I originally made 3 this one never got finished for some reason!
The roof was not at all simple tbh as the compound angles need to join long grain so the glue takes. I'm that much older than when I started I'm not sure I'd be able to make another without cock ups!

Tit box's and cock ups
I'm such a puerile child at times
Looks great!
And thanks for the unintentional giggles
