This is my second try at a blank that I wasnt happy with and had posted a couple of days ago. I think that the thinner divider works better.

Hi all, I am new to Woodturning in general as only got my first lathe for Christmas. I have made a number of pens and seam rippers, already, mainly with acrylic, people I have given them to have all said they like them and that they are good but I don’t know if they are being polite. If you...

Finally managed to find time between teaching to make the box for the Croak pens I made a couple of weeks ago!

A little while ago I was gifted a Gold Bock no8 nib. I kept it to one side for a while as I wasn't sure I liked the idea of a nib that size, but a couple of weeks ago I decided to make myself a pen for it. I made a slightly wider pen than I usually do, meaning 14mm cap threads (instead of my...

European Olive Wood grown in NSW Australia planted more than 80 yrs ago,from a totally abandoned grove of trees. Peter.:thumbs::thumbs:

Just want to introduce myself to the forum. My name is Duncan and I am based in Stratford upon Avon. I have been a hobby woodturner most of my life, but since retiring 13 years ago, I have done a lot more stuff. My specialities are salt and pepper grinders, bowls, clocks and of course pens. All...

I started this tap handle years ago from some forgotten type of fruit tree wood I picked up years ago in the Adelaide hills. I had just finished turning it, came back the next day to put finish on it and found it had cracked.:vangry: Found it under the the bench the other day, filled the crack...

A commercial blank turned yesterday and one of my own castings from a couple of weeks ago.

A very quick simple bowl that I promised someone who gave me some wood quite a while ago. Nothing fancy or even coloured

Thought it about time I did some turning so took a couple of hours out from doing the garden and working on another bowl which seems to be taking forever. Not sure of the wood as it is an old rough turned piece from some time ago which did not have any bark or leaves to identify it. Finished...

Unknown wood from blanks I bought about 15 years ago.

Hi Guys, New kid to the block....although I do have an hint of silver hair:wink: I moved to Ireland twenty odd years ago from Lincolnshire and now live near The Wild Atlantic Way on the west coast of Ireland. I am really looking forward to becoming part of your community and hopefully will...

From unknown wood that I was given sometime ago 7" X 1 3/4"

This is one of the "wonky" blanks I posted a while back. The wood was given to me by the chap who actually planted the tree 50 or so years ago, so this is a present for him.

FRom the Northwest of Continental Europe. Faberge made an Egg from timber such as this for the Tsar of Russia in 1917. Found in Downy,or Silver Birch. My next door neighbor many years ago used to collect and partake of the sap of his Silver Birch trees,had a Sauna at the rear of his garage...

Whilst I was banned woodworking etc following a heart op I spent many hours flat on my back surfing the net and you tube and decided that once I got back in the workshop I would have a go at bandsaw boxes. (Also I was getting bored with pens … Heresy I know). So in order of learning and many...

This is a bass I made a couple of winters ago from rosewood and maple

This little lot just went in the pressure pot a short while ago.

This timber excites above many for its variations from Reds to Oranges,Sapwood etc to achieve across the grain is rare because white ants in the Nth of Australia eat out the centre. It is a 4 metre high Bush covered in thorns. Snakes live in the colonies of these thick bushes.Harvesting means be...

I have posted a couple of pens over the past two weeks that included Celtic knots in one form or another - both are slated for presentation of Modern Celtic Art that opens next week. In this very rural area in Upstate New York, there is a pocket of full and part-time working artists who work in...
