Ron Altier Posted July 16, 2020 Report Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) During shop clean up, I found some narrow strips of walnut from an old forgotten job. The were approx a quarter inch sq. by 10". Since we are still under self quarantine, I have lots of time and decided to make a glue up using these strips and some maple & pine. It came out kinda nice.I made two of them and may turn the other one in the opposite direction. The oval is about inch and three quarters. I haven't been turning much lately and it is nice to get back where time has no meaning. It goes by so quickly when you are having fun.

Ron Altier Posted July 16, 2020 Author Report Posted July 16, 2020 I don't know which direction I'll go with either of them yet. Sometimes when I let things set for a while and return, I get another idea in a different direction. Then there are times when I get that feeling " I shouldn't of done that" Gunny and Cal 1 1 Quote
