Hi

The unknown wood on the finial box is yew, the unknown bowl is possibly oak

Good progress for only six weeks

Regards Mick

Very nice work

I like the candle holder, that's different, (note that the purpleheart will go brown eventually, which is a shame, would be great if it retained it's colour.) Good work all round for the time you have been doing it, keep at it!

Might be the light but your Beech bowl looks more like Mahogany?

Can't see any tool marks, well proportioned and balanced (mainly ) and look to be finished well =D>

I think the finials could do with a bit of work shape wise but apart from that I think you've got the hang of it

For six weeks turning they are really rather good. Well done.

Cheers peeps, I was a bit worried about putting my work online and there where a few omissions ;-)

Bought some cherry from a local chap and been turning it green, I'll post some more pics when it's dried out and finished.

Cheers again

Cheers guys,

I have to admit to a lot of sanding :-() I also went through the bottom of a bowl today I had spent 2 hours on.

I bought just about everything already Eugene, the last 6 weeks has been a spending spree. Done now though just going to cadge some trees of the local tree surgeon.

I have been woodworking on and off for a few years now but really like turning, it's more hands on and creative, also if you make a mistake with a project it is not wasted it becomes a new project (a smaller project).

Cheers

Garry
