    Default My wife wants eggs

    My wife has requested a bowl of wooden eggs, so I have started making a few.
    Thanks to TTIT's web site I have made myself a egg chuck and a template similar to his.
    After my fifth attempt I think I have got the shape pretty well, now to see if I can replicate it
    I have plenty of jarrah and sheoak in the wood pile so she will have to settle for those for now.

    Rick

    Don't let Fence Furniture see these, he will either want to cook them, peel them or eat them! Mastering the humble boiled egg....and peeling them

    Good looking eggs. Do you have Jacaranda over there?. It would be a nice colour to go with your clutch.

    I have seen a few trees around. will have to see what I can scrounge. Found a piece of Oregon Pine and that came up well.
    I'm just having fun practicing my skills, saw one guy on youtube cutting eggs with a skew no sanding very impressive. Every time I put a skew to a piece of wood it seems to launch itself across the workshop, need more practice

    What are the dimensions of the eggs or can they be variable and what length do you start out with as a minimum for turning purposes? I have often thought that it is a wonderful project for wood samples. In fact, I think there was somebody of renown who did just that, but as usual I can't remember who it was: Every time he encountered a new piece of wood he turned up an egg as a momento. My limited memory is that he had ever such a lot!

    Three more to the collection

    Oregon- scrap from the shed
    Marri and some sort of gum possibly a Salmon Gum found in the wood pile

    I will have to keep looking and I might find a couple more species around the yard
