A friend asked me to turn some bottle stoppers for him. I had a multipack from CSUSA and the identifying document was missing from the box. Couple that with the fact that some of the wood didn't have an identifying number on it, I don't know what I am turning but...... I swear it smells like dill pickles. When my wife returns home from the grocery store, I am going to get her opinion.
On another couple notes, it's been interesting relearning on sharpening turning tools. I have stayed away from my lathe too long. This week I have turned 8 bottle stoppers and plan on getting a few more done and then offering my friend a choice. I will post photos before I ship them out to him.
This week we have had contractors coming into the house. We are going to replace all the windows in the house. They are 30 years old, leaking between the double panes and some are starting to get drafty. One of the window contractors asked to see my shop. He is repairing a jewelry box for his mother and asked if I could turn a spindle that he broke.
