After seeing his work in Minneapolis and having lunch with him I was an instant groupie.Good job Alan.
Very well done and funny.I am working on a turned lamp project now too,thanks.
A very pleasing shape and nice coloring.
I saw that head stock going together in Jeff's shop,it turned out amazing.
Dave,of all the pet urns I've made I haven't been able to sell them on the idea of epoxy.They want threads or something that will let them in later??? Thanks John for the education.That makes sence.
The lid is friction fit and an O ring.
I just finished this maple pet urn for a childhood friend. it is 5 X 9 3/4".
Many coats of satin WOP and buffed.
It has some nice quilting,it came from a tree down the block.
I demoed one of these and although it worked well didn't think I could put up with the howl the light tubing makes.

I don't know Dennis,this is my first root.It sure did shrink and crack badly compaired to when it was fresh cut.

One of my suppliers from Kansas told me her son was cutting up osage orange to sell for firewood.I told her I would pay to get a slab of that mailed to me.
Well one day I found a large flat rate box...
Lacquer on and off the lath.Maybe six coats.I use it when finishing a high moisture piece.It will drink a couple more after it dries out.
A guy in town got into woodturning ,I think because of me.
He called the other day and asked if I was interested in going with him to look at an apple tree.
We drove a few miles out of town to an...
A man who knows what he wants,enjoy.
Thanks guys,They are from property my pastor just built on north of Eau Claire along the Chippewa river.,he was milling for flat work and had no use for these.They are definitely maple,I had just...
I started out to make a tall vase from this piece of box elder but during the process I broke the mouth when I had a catch.
