Richard.... I stand corrected. Not Devils Walking Stick (a.k.a. Hercules Club). The wood actually came from a shrub known as "Harry Lauder's Walking Stick". The scientific name is Corylus...

ornamental cherry pieces... 186671186670

I grabed the short knarly stump of an ornamental Devils Walking Stick shrub that was being discarded and was able to carve a small bowl and a hollow form. I think I'll turn an ebony finial on the HF...

Sorry for the slow response, Joseph. I've been off-line too much lately. I cut my pattern deeply into the pendant blank and then applied the inlace turquoise and let it cure overnight. I kept the...

Not weeks...:mad: it's been months since I had any decent shop time! I finally had a chance to do some catching up this weekend and so I focused on two items that so many of you have expertly...

sweet piece Bernie! :cool: is that laquered?

Terry

yes" that will work fine.

Rod, I have a Delmhorst Model J-Lite (see Woodcraft ~ $145) that I used primarily for checking my air dried flat lumber. I've also used the meter to check moisture content on some extra heavy...

thank you all for the nice compliments.

John - of course, the wife selected the garnish :)

Robert - the piece is solid except for the recess needed for fastening the threaded metal hardware....

I had a bright idea a few days ago.... so I did :).

Sorry,.... but I can't resist :o. I have a slightly different slant on the topic of bedliners or coatings. I figure anything beyond a simple rubber mat in the bed of a p/u is overkill. I...

Leo, I like the unusual texture, finish and form. I especially enjoy the soft edges that you created between the smooth and textured areas, and the color tone and finish. A refreshing project! ...

Steve, I think the form reminds me very much of a shape you would find in nature such as a type of nest (Baltimore Oriole) or perhaps a wasp nest. At least that's what my minds eye sees with this...

Wow.... that bowl should hold a family-sized salad, Gary. Nicely done on both pieces!

Terry

I like it, too Roger. Very "enlightening" piece. I have a maple lamp roughed out and soaking in DNA right now. Hope mine turns out just as nice as yours did ;).

Terry

I like the form and the inlay, James. I like having small coin-type bowls around the house and as gifts. Nicely done. ;)

Terry

Dennis, really like the "Tatonka" piece. ..... well done and refreshingly different.

Terry

disclaimer - I did not turn this on the lathe ;). The forks were included on a previous photo posting and, as requested, I'm posting the pattern for others to use.

Choose a hardwood of choice...

Steve, the color and finish are impressive, but most of all I like the atributes of the entire turning even more. Most excellent as usual. Thanks for sharing.

Terry

Thanks for all the compliments. Steve, your "master" eye is not unlike a camera lens .... it cannot be fooled :D. Actually, it is turned round, but I had to prop up the clock for the photo and I...

James,
I'd be happy to post the patter for the salad forks. I'll try later tonight.

David and Richard,
I cut short tapers on the rawhide ends and slipped the over lapped pieces into one of...

Gary,

I traced the design for the salad forks quite some time ago and then made these from cherry. I kept a pair for a pattern, too. Easy to make and popular with the ladies ;).

Terry

Allen,

Thanks for the comments. Actually I glued the top to the oak. I didn't spend a great deal of time becasue I figured it would check some more since the oak is actually a log with the pith...

The sugar maple is 9 1/2" with a 6" clock face. This beautiful piece of wood is figured nicer than my photo skills demonstarte. It's about 1 1/4" thick. I turned this small piece from a cutoff of...
