:CLots of things made a while ago. I thought challenges were about having a go NOW! :hmm:
OK - ignore the nut bowl. The rose turned box was made since the challenge started so I guess that one counts.......:?
Here is my modest effort for the challenge. Two goblets with tray in Hakea 48mm high. Finished with EEE and Shellawax.
Not wishing to ruffle feathers or cause nether garments to get tangled by my misunderstanding of the rules:((, in the true spirit of the Challenge here is a replacement for the entry made before the challenge started, another lidded bowl made earlier (this morning).
African Blackwood, MC wax finish, measuring 50mm H. x 40mm dia.

Tea Lady -
It's all nut, the brown bits are what is left of the skin (for want of a better word). I sanded a flat on the nut & hot glued it to a piece of square stock, then set that up in 4 -jaw so that I could adjust until it was cutting all the way around. A bit of a fiddle and it helps if you can select a nut that's fairly symetrical.
Finish was just MC wax.

Here's my attempt.
Harder to photograph than to turn!:-
Mini urn or chalice.
Timber: Snakewood (acacia sp.)
Finish: Friction polish.
Size: 32 x 13 mm.
Some great looking pieces coming through guys, I have to hand it you, I still can't find a leprechaun with a lathe to make me something. The only thing I could make that small would be a mess. Keep em coming:2tsup:
:o some amazing stuff been done well done.
One day to go.
I for one missed seeing these posts, as surely others have also...could the challange be extended till Dec 15th?
How about it ?
Okay here you go.
