Those are beautiful @RustyFN   What are the particulars on them?  I cannot decide if that first one is a burl or a cast resin blank that you turned!

Cal the pictures I posted are just a piece of spalted maple I got from a friend at the club.

 

Built a new knock-out bar and added a handle to the headstock swivel tommy bar.  The OEM knock-out bar was too short and very light for the intended purpose.  The new one is 2" longer and made of 5/16" SS.  Walnut, danish oil.

Didn't quite make it to the late, but waiting their turn on the bandsaw. Mimi said some of the "priceless turning materials" had to be cleaned up from behind the shed. These were cut from a large piece of Chinese elm that was in our back yard. Not sure what the half log species is, maybe cotton wood.

Contrary to popular belief, I do get sawdust on the floor...occasionally.

Nice Gerald.  I like the idea.

 

Really cool turning @Gerald. Is the tea light secured inside the turning?

Yes it is glued in. John did a piece for AAW Fundamentals on this project, but have to be AAW member to see it.

Nice Gerald. Is that a small LED light in the bottom.

Yes thanks it is a timed tea light

Got some Dogwood from the neighbor a couple years ago and decided to grab a log and turn a small bowl.  It is up there on the Janka hardness scale at 2150.  I had heard it was hard to turn but it was a dream to work with.  Turned nicely with sharp tools and when I sanded it down it got smooth and actually shined. It is very white and has a bland appearance.  Hoping it looks better with finish applied.  Here is a few pictures before any finish.  Ants had eaten up through the middle of the tree leaving a dark stained area.

That's gorgeous, Dan! 

 

We have a dogwood in the back yard I planted when I moved here in 1968. Dreading the day I have to cut it down,
