A tall and skinny minimalist Christmas tree made from an old Christmas tree

A miniature bowl made from an avocado pit. The sides are squished to make a square shape at the top. A pencil is laying beside it for scale. The bowl is barely taller than the pencil.
The Littlest Candy Dish
Avocado pit with shellac finish. Approximately 0.5" x 0.25"
A gag gift for my local turning club's year end swap. I included some mini M&Ms with the bowl. I used some scrap wood and rubber bands to form it into a square as it dried.

Thanks! Maybe some day I will get good enough to start at 120 instead of 80 grit! That should knock an hour off.
Thanks!

The fourth of these I have made. It's getting easier to turn but sanding will always take forever.

Next Saturday I have a couple pieces in Works in Wood at New Hope Arts!

A turned box with long finial. Made from African Blackwood and tagua nut
Alternate view with the lid off.
A Cindy Drozda style finial box. African Blackwood with inlaid Tagua nut. 3" x 1.5"
Working with tagua nuts can be a pain since they have random cracks in the middle. I had to make the foot twice since the first one got too small once I got rid of the cracks.

A vase with a small opening made from cherry wood
A cherry hollow form, 5" by 3". Pushing the limits of how big of a hollow form I can do with my current tools. Hollowed through the bottom and then plugged.

Most of these I used boiled linseed oil, one has CA glue as the finish. I can't say how water resistant it is though. I've only done a small amount of these over the past 6 months or so.

The show started on Showtime and then got picked up by SyFy or something. I was wondering why there was a TV-MA rating in the opening credits.
Reminds me of when I first rewatched Stargate on Netflix after watching reruns for years on SyFy. Didn't expect nudity in the first episode.
Depends on what platform I see it on first but I try to like it on both. I think you might need to throw some hashtags into the posts
I use cheap home made tools to hollow. A bunch of old hex wrenches that I know don't go to anything important. For this one I used the smallest one, about 1/8" wide. Cut with a hacksaw or angle grinder and sharpened like a scraper. Stuck in a quick and dirty handle.

You start with the wood turned around and hollow through a bigger hole in what will eventually be the bottom. Then it gets plugged and you can flip it around and do the top. For the top, I just drilled with a 1/4" bit.
Here is a video of someone else demonstrating

There can be only ONE! (Christmas list)
A wand made from maple with a banksia pod and resin handle.
A wand with banksia pod and resin handle, and a curly maple finial.
I wanted a simple look but it looked too much like a conductor's batton. Added a ball, carved a spiral, torched it, cleaned it up, and turned back to a smaller ball. 😅

Love it! It's a great way to show off different styles of spindle work.
Homemade mandalorian helmets and armor as well as a repainted nerf toy.

A turned box made in cherry with a maple finial made to look like a sperm and egg.
Self portrait: cherry and maple 1.5" wide 3" tall
Made this box for an online challenge to turn an egg :)

It's the perfect date!
Four turned wooden eggs. First painted blue and textured, second is gold, third is a stylized deviled egg, fourth is a more realistic deviled egg
Some eggs from a couple years ago. First has milk paint, second has acrylic paint and Rub n Buff, third is bare wood, and fourth is an oil finish.

A series of "bowls". One with extremely thick walls, one that turned into a funnel, and one that exploded.
A series of rookie mistakes. A bowl with really thick walls, a funnel, and an exploded bowl. Maple, sapele, and brass.
