February 21, 201214 yr Ok, after finally getting my truck fixed I started back in the shop. Oh I finally got my shop setup. I have power and lights yeah......Well back to the projects. First I finally finished turning my Cedar toothbrush holder. I turned a Bremease (spelling) Blackwood cane for a birthday present, made a pencil for my daughter used babinga, purpleheart, and black walnut and a cotton rag to burn the rings into it. (yes I know using the rag is dangerous :-/), turned a pestle and mortar for a friend using a piece of wood he gave me for the pestle and a piece of very rare South American Mahogany. Here are some pictures, I will put the rest in my photos on my profile page. Hope this isn't to many pictures in one post lol.

February 21, 201214 yr Some beautiful projects here, Adam!The grain pattern on the cane reminds me of a Damascus knife blade. Lew-Time traveler. Purveyor of the world's finest custom rolling pins!

February 21, 201214 yr Very nice job on all of the projects. You are definitely getting better the more you are turning. I really like the pen. When you described it to me I didn't envision it the way it looks. Very nice, now I see why they all wanted one.The shop is coming along nicely.John MoodyJohn Moody Woodworkshttp://www.johnmoodywoodworks.com

Is it a converted shed, or 2x4 construction with canvas?It looks like the Hooches I stayed in when I was in the field.John MorrisThe Patriot WoodworkerProud Supporter of Wounded Warrior Project and Homes For Our Troops
February 26, 201214 yr Author Thank you Arlin for the welcome and the nice comment. John, it is an 8X12 portable building that I have insulated and run electricity to. For right now since I'm just turning mostly to give me an escape it does what I need :-).
