First serious attempt at spindle turning - also repurposing
Bob Hodge posted a topic in Wood Turners
With maybe 8 years of bowls and plates, I tried my hand at spindle turning to make these jewelry towers. You will just have to turn your head as I can't figure out how to upright these photos. I'm using a Sorby spindlemaster only because that is what the sales guy put into my introductory set of tools when I got my first lathe. I suspect that as with most of my projects, I could make these twice as good in half the time as I did with these. I turned the center bowl with a bigger diameter hole to slip all the way down to the middle, keeping the spindle in one piece. I like "story wood". The cherry tower for my grand daughter comes from repurposed pieces of a crib that I made for her 17 years ago. The rest of the crib was transformed into a head board and foot board for her. Maybe worth some points for G'dad. Olivewood beads from Jerusalem to add some class upon which to hang the necklaces.
