For The Newbies-

Looking for a nice project? Richard Raffan turns a plate from some beautiful piece of wood. Plates/platters are fun to make and can be decorative or useful. The blank doesn't have to be several inches thick and hollowing is much shallower. Make a bunch from inexpensive wood and use them to support those flimsy picnic paper plates.

 

Check out the oil finish at the end!

 

 

For something (and someone) a little smaller, Mike peace turns a baby rattle-

 

 

 

Expand Your Horizons-

Alan Stratton turns and hollows some spheres. His method of laying out/turning the blank into a ball is really interesting.

 

 

 

Mike Peace turns a mystery, no holes salt shaker. Check out the secret!
