    Lots of things made a while ago. I thought challenges were about having a go NOW!

    OK - ignore the nut bowl. The rose turned box was made since the challenge started so I guess that one counts.......

    I like the nut bowl too! Is it all nut?Or is part of it resin filled? I've got some tagua nuts that I haven't got around to doing anything with yet.

    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).

    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.

    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
