Some Woody Things

Thought I'd show off some of woodturning handiwork.  Great thing about a Blog is that you can blow your own trumpet.  I know there are better turners out there including Mary A. but I'm proud of my work to date.  Yes I have had some failures but then Rome wasn't built in a day, was it?



This last piece was turned in Wellingtonia, a member of the Sequoia family of giant redwoods.  Looks lovely but I found it difficult to get a smooth finish.  The platter measures 29 cms in diameter.
