Tool Handle
I received in the mail yesterday a turners smock and a new bowl gouge, so I wore the smock to make a handle for the bowl gouge. You can see the piece of firewood that I used and the finished product

Our need to keep warm can sometimes out weigh our need to look beautiful.

Here on the NSW midnorth coast, this stuff, Forest Oak was called Bakers Oak as the prefered fuel for wood fired ovens.IMG_20160330_101445.jpg

Hopefully what’s left doesn’t end up on the wood heap.

I was given the Sheoak as part of a trailer load of firewood, it was mixed with some Jarrah. I picked out the bigger pieces to play with as I am new to woodturning and needed some blanks. As tree has been long time dead in the bush there was a lot of cracks and splits and getting sizable pieces to turn was hard but fun

Nice work on the handle!
Trust me... 10 years down the line and this will still hold true.
One of the few real advantages of moving house is discovering what "firewood" is available locally. In the past I've had everything from Mallee Root burls through the Sheoaks (don't you just love the casuarina family?) & mountain gums to our current lot: Ironbark & some Box.
I can even tell which tools were handled at which houses and thus their approximate ages.
