Ok so where is it??

Here is my version....

Egg cup:
Wood: Melia Azedarach, white cedar.
Sanded to #400 then finished with Shellawax Cream.
44mm
45mm

See it even holds and egg, but SWMBO said I can’t use a real egg so I had to make a wooden one. I had almost finished turning the egg and the force field holding it between the drive and live centres collapsed so the tip of the egg is a bit pointy. (Someone said it had to be supported physically by the two centres, think I missed something there.)
Egg:
Wood: Callistemon, Bottlebrush
Sanded to #400 then finished with Shellawax Cream.
50mm
Diam: 40mm


Ok just kidding...:D

Small candle stick.
Made from Callistemo, bottlebrush.
Sanded to #400 then finished with Shellawax Cream.
Hight 50mm
Max with at the base 28mm.
Holds one small 'party' candle.

TL: Candle stick with birthday candle..

Also compared to a 5 cent coin.

Ok, seen that we show the "non-serious" pieces while we whittle away the time...

This is the Official Ring of the Woodworkers' Secret Society. :D

Western Myall, off the tool, one coat of CA.

Here they are. Red messmate, one stained. :U

No, spike for "tribal" wood earring. You can see dozens of them if you google "wooden earrings". I am reliably informed that in Europe you can find them at every street corner (cynical me thinks with other commodities... :wink:) I found the hard way that power machines do not necessarily make the job easier or faster. The spike is fun (whatever tool you like using :p) but to turn, drill and cut the earring without it shattering is quite an interesting exercise of applied physics. I got it at the 6th attempt, my unreserved admiration if you can do better. :)

Here is another entry.. The first photo shows it in a 50mm cube... The wood is redgum + queen ebony..the finish is w.o.p.

made my first gavel today , and when i finished i put it up on the forum then started having a read poked around in this thread and thought oh yeah make a mini one so off i went to the lathe and made this monster weapon as an entry here .
the gavel is 49.97mm long .
cooktown iron wood and waxed . the wife likes it better than the full size one

If there is a separate category for scale models this is my entry in it: doll house table.

Blackwood, Shellawax

Entry #2.

Red Cedar and Radiata Pine (a classic partnership).
33h x 26d x 2.5t
Shellawax finish
