Very nice. What kind of wood is that?
Some sort of acacia.
Nice soft wood, easy to work.
Messing about with the lathe again…
Au naturale…
Ready to go
Initial roughing half done
I’ll let y’all know what I’m making once I figure it out myself.
It’s the Holy Grail!
You are having so much fun with that lathe!
Beautiful!!
I don’t know what the craft scene is in Australia, but it seems to me you could make a decent part-time job out of doing something creative that you love. You’re obviously very good at it!
That is gorgeous!!
Oh right, we’re talking about that thing with the fruits in it
Mmph!
These are literally the first five things I’ve ever turned on a lathe, BTW. It is astonishingly easy to make nice things with one of those gadgets. Much safer and quieter than most woodworking tools, too.
And if you’re really broke…
