A Good Week

[Dalboy]

Had a good week in the shed and managed a few turned items the first is 10 bird houses made from the many offcuts I can't bear to throw out, many of you know the little pile in the corner. These are 3 3/4" to 5" tall.

Finally this bowl is made from an unknown piece of wood that did not want to be left on it's own when the walnut hitched a ride. Measures 8 1/2" X 2 1/4"

I have been working on this in between doing other bits today that is after the one where the lid decided to do the splits.

Made from London plane with a Laburnum insert in the lid it stands 2 3/4" X 2 1/4". Still need to make 4 more well there is always tomorrow.

This is the longest I have played in the shed for a long time.

Looks like you have had a great time creating a pile of shavings. I rather like the lidded box, and some of the found timber was well worth stopping to collect.
It is very satisfying getting back into the workshop after a bit of a break, especially when you have a bit of a flair for design as you have demonstrated.

Happy turning,

Alan...
