Turning Time in 2009

[CHJ]

These are becoming a bit of a habbit for you Chas :lol:

Orders is Orders :lol:

Still a bit of a fiddle johnny, could do half a dozen bowls in the time it takes to do a couple of these, definitely a batch job item to save setup & tool changing time.

______Yew
______The brass collar speeds up the alignment process when gluing up but metal is a pain at buffing time as it contaminates the finish/mops and will eventually dull.

Looking good Chas
There does seem to be some demand for them
That last piece looks to be a pale looking piece of Yew :?

Great idea Chas,

Hope you won't mind if I make one for SWMBO.

I am getting seriously worried about you Chas. I've been offline for a week and you are getting more rustic by the day. Those are really nice (what else could I say?) I especially like the idea of the candle holder. I presume the screws are deheaded and threaded and glued in place?

..... I presume the screws are deheaded and threaded and glued in place?......

Just deadhead and epoxy the shank Pete, moving to rustic with some of the home cured stuff rather than loads of shavings on the bonfire and now that I have a Buffing system developing, putting a finish on 'character' items is a lot easier.

Whatever the reason it's nice to see you doing things differently and with your usual excellent quality. Does this mean I have to start turning normal things as well? :lol:

Those look really effective Chas,great idea with the spike too
Il ike the ebonised Yew,too.Nice contrast
Did you use the ebonising lacquer to do it :?:

...Did you use the ebonising lacquer to do it :?:

Yes Paul Chestnuts Spray, left 48+ hours to harden before lightly burnishing with cream.

Good looking stuff. Your finish is out standing, that yew looks so smooth.

I like the candle holder.
This an irrelevent comment because you wont see the screw, but I would have rather used one of those old style floor board nails / the rectangular ones

 

[stevebuk]

stunning chas just stunning, i think i say this everytime you post something, but as i am stunned by your stuff, its all i can think of saying.. :lol:

Not the prettiest solution I agree Rich, but the average user would have difficulty mounting the candle, even plain spikes have been known to split them.

Like the candle holder design Chas, very effective.
