Over the weekend, Woodturning OnLine's newsletter arrived. It was a neat coincidence because their featured video and a project I saw from Charles Nicholls were on the same topic! I've always wanted to make a honey dipper and saw that Charles had recently made a super looking one. Here is the video posted by Woodturning OnLine:

There is also a great article about turning a salt cellar with a magnetic latched lid. Included in this article is information about a detailing tool to create beautiful patterns on lids and bodies of round turnings.

 Finally, there is some good information about various glues available to the woodworker.

You can read the entire newsletter here-

Great stuff Lew! Thank you so much for sharing. Those honey dippers are pretty amazing for how simple of a tool they are. We could not life without ours! We love our honey on everything and a spoon is just too messy.

Thanks much for the very kind words, I would be better at it if I had some bead turning tools or used a parting tool a bit better but they do work and I am happy to make more if anyone wants one

Ok a word of caution though, Make sure that the person that you are giving/selling it to is not allergic to the type of wood it's made from, for instance walnut or black walnut. Anyone that is allergic to the nut will very likely be allergic to the wood and anything that pics up the sap or fibers of the wood YOu all probably thought of this already but I just wanted to get that out there. This is why I make most if not all of my dippers from maple. I am also going to be making some smaller ones for those that buy honey in the smaller jars. Stay tuned to the wood turning forum for further updates.

Thanks, Charles, for mentioning the wood allergies. Not being allergic, I tend to forget this cautionary practice.
