    Default Needle cases.

    I foolishly volunteered to turn some needle cases for the Knox Woodworkers' stall they are having at the Stringybark festival in February. So here are 3 of them. (Three more to go.) They will probably get more and more ridiculous. These ones are in Silky Oak, Jarrah and Wenge. Finished in hard shellac.

    Nice work TL.

    Maybe I'm missing something, these are for a "Stringybark" Festival and you have used Silky Oak, Jarrah and Wenge, I'm confused

    No Stringy Bark was harmed in the making of these needle cases. (Plus I haven't got any. )

    Nice job, TL. I've made a few of these for my wife and her quilting group. They're not easy!
    Well done!! I like the different tops.

    Very nice TL.
    If I show them to my ladies, think they push me to make some of these cute things.
    BTW, not so easy to make them, but you did it very well

    Snug. Although some are snugger than others. I think they are supposed to stay on while swimming around in the bottom of hand bags.

    Lovely!! The more wierd the design, the more they will sell, I reckon I'd even buy one for myself for my leatherwork needles, they are that useful

    cheers

    I guess thats another one to file away for turned presents. I would never have thought of needle cases.

    Thanks TL. Assume at that small (?) diameter the fit of the top would stay about the same despite changes of temperature and humidity. Would like to try just one but have no clue about the required I.D. and depth. Help please?
