ahhhhh now that's what I call beauty. My personal opinion, no offense to anyone, is that the original shape of the wood is always pleasing. I see a lot of pieces of wood ruined by trying to reshape...
I really like the piece. It does need a couple of touches in my (very) humble opinion.
I would prefer as someone else stated for the walnut bulb above the maple section to be a tad slenderer. The...
LOVE THE PIECES. Very nice work!
I use fiberglass resin and coffee grounds or whatever to add some color and texture. I have been known to use chalk crushed up if I want some odd colors or multitude of colors added to the piece....
That's a LONG way from home for a month. Sorry to hear about you being there. Come by Brownfield on you way home if you want. Or Lubbock either one. We could chat at lunch or something
Sorry for the long time I have been gone. Most of you have probably forgotten me. I have not you though. I have missed posting and seeing every body's work. Changed jobs, new kid (born with down...
Even though I am an advocate of General lathes (I own one and a friend also owns one) I could not in good faith advise you to trade. You have one fine piece of machinery there and would not be giong...
South Plains woodurners. Lubbock Texas. We are relatively new at two years old. 65-70 members. We have about a third of our members in the AAW so we have lots of options for demonstrators. You are...
horrible!! Absolutely horrible!! Send it to me instanlty to dispose of!:D
Ok ok it's gorgeous. Very nice choice of shape for this piece of wood. I really love the shape along with the figure of...
very nice piece Bill. Love your work! Hope one day to own a piece,as well as match your skills.
Beautiful piece there. Love the voids in it. Wood loks vaguely familiar. I actually spent yesterday cutting up an enormous red oak root ball. Has a lot of the same graining as yours. I love the...
I agree with the taking up a mentor. It will allow you to learn what is safe on a lathe, as well as help in understanding the limitations of the lathe. The motor may be able to turn it, but you are...
hey congrats on the new tool!! Enjoy it and post pics of the turnings.
answers my wuestion about it too. Thanks!
Love the feet on this. It really makes it STAND out.:p
The form I think is well done.
Man I really like that!!!!!
HEY congrats on the article. It's very well written!
Well with that known. Good job on the recovery effort.:cool:
Well the shop is almost dried in. I still have to roof in and put the doors on. So pretty much only have the walls build and sheathed and the roof decked. It's pretty well build though. When the...
I agree that this is a beautiful piece. I love the form of the body, very long and elegant. I feel that the rim does not quite fit though. You have the grease and slow slopes of the body, to a...
everything I have tried with fruit has not worked out real well. Too cracky for my desert area. YMMV in a more humid environment. I need a huge humidor for storing wood in!
nice looking ashtrays there. I'm like you, trying to get back in front of the lathe and back here after a forced hiatus. Good to see you have not lost your touch. Look foreward to seeing more stuff...
I bought a chuck from tham, and had not gotten to use it much, when somethingg went terribly wrong. I could not find any of my informtaion on it, as I've been in the moving situation. I called and...
It's been a long time since I've been here. I've Either been spending all night and all day at work or working on building a shop. I almost have the shop in the dry, just tar paper the roof this...
