Re-handled my Hunter Hercules.  Old handle was a glue up and was starting to fail along the joint.  New handle is walnut and finished with DO.

The second little elm bowl that was in the dryer. Tried to make the lip bead set "on top" of the bowls wall. Had to run the lathe in reverse to get a good angle with the Easy Wood Beading cutter for the inside. My lathe sets against the wall. Can only turn from one side. Finished with Yorkshire Grit and Hampshire Sheen.

Not on the lathe yet but will be soon. Started peeling bark on the Persimmon I got from neighbor. A peculiar trait is under the bark is some small thorn like structures. Got me before I knew it. C69C25C5-F4B5-4F90-8441-65211EB36950.jpeg.6f20b67ae1e6933b4b193b9e57dc3f60.jpeg

Not log bridge material for sure.

Obeche bowl from 3x6 blank. Relatively soft hardwood from western Africa. Embedded link has the details.
