Year 10 slowly getting the hang of it.

[CHJ]

Must get that lathe alignment sorted :?

Walnut and Oak.

I have never heard of Sumac before, but have had a bit of stagshorn pass through. have maybe half a dozen bushes. They do like to spread through root suckers (bit like acacia). It is very light and resinous and outdoors burns with a lovely smell. Shan't be burning any more of it though. Those candlesticks look very nice, but... stagshorn is -very- flammable due to the resin

Walnut and oak work well together. Very nice.

A new slant on your turning style there Chas! (ha, got in a Chas style pun )

 

[Paul.J]

Is that oval in shape Chas :shock:

 

[devonwoody]

Chas. your post above sent me into a dream.

Thanks for a lovely morning.

 

[CHJ]

Bashed out something of an older style just to get away from the stock sort-out that has been going on to make room for 2016-17 needs.

Walnut & Beech 200mm dia.

 

[devonwoody]

Looks terrific, and is it only 6mm thick?

Looks terrific, and is it only 6mm thick?

Varies between 7 & 8mm John.

Thats a cracker, looks almost like inlay work.

 

[Grahamshed]

Beautiful work, and walnut / beech go together so well.

 

[CHJ]

Another for the collection finished, managed to fit an hour in the shed while it was too cool for the gardening chores this morning.

Walnut & Ash (lid) with a sliver or two of Beech just for luck. (145mm dia.)

 

[Grahamshed]

Yet another masterpiece from the segmented master.

 

[devonwoody]

Yes chj that looks good.

I have just had the last two days out in the garden and into mending fences plus I have got to get the beds going. So I reckon I could be another month before I am in the shed.

Some more great pieces I like the contrast with the woods. Whenever I try contrast the lighter wood always seems to darken.

 

[CHJ]

Rain stopped garden play, time for a spin.

Walnut & Oak, 175mm dia.

 

[devonwoody]

Another cracker CHJ. :deer :deer =D> =D>

 

[Bodrighy]

I have to confess Chas that I am so used to you 'churning' out these close to perfect segmented boxes I don't usually bother to comment but this latest one appeals to me, love the shape of it. Needless to say the workmanship etc is as usual pretty much perfect.

[CHJ]

Glad it strikes a chord Pete, not quite the shape envisaged when segment ring was glued up but had to change the top section somewhat due to available wood size constraints.
Spent a while cogitating changing the knob back to my usual broader, squatter style or maybe a taller finial* but decided to leave it as is, being something different for a change.

* Never sure about finials on something that could end up as a user.

Intrigued by your work, CHJ, I set about doing something similar -- but -- Ellipitcal.

I made this before I bought the sanding sealer at the recent Axminster event so it is finished only with what I had at the time - a mixture of Bees and Carnauba wax.

The wall thickness is between 1.3 and 2 mm though the rim is 3-4mm.

Walnut and Beech - 93mm x 75mm x 50mm high.
