A few other recent turnings…

[David DeCristoforo]

As my grandson has grown from a baby to a "little boy", I have started making some toys for him. This top was one of the first things I made for him.

My son thought it might be a bit to "over the top" for everyday play so I made a simpler one…

I have been learning how to hand chase threads because I want to make him a kaleidoscope with interchangeable object boxes and a telescope, both of which will require threaded parts. this little "box" was the first "successful attempt.
