February 21, 201214 yr comment_33706 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.  Report

February 21, 201214 yr comment_33711 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 Report

February 26, 201214 yr Author comment_33708 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 :-). Report
