    I usually put the more exotic burr's on my Mistrals, but this is Diagonal cut Spalted Beech with loads of Spalting. I think it looks stunning, Rhodium with Black Ti accents. Cheers Brad

    Segmentation No. 3

    My third attempt at segmentation. This is spalted beech and guitar pickboard I don't know yet how to orientate my pictures or delete ones that I don't want, but seeing that the other picture has appeared does anyone know the wood. I think that it may be alder as it came from logs that I cut a...

    Spalted Beech Mistral

    I finally managed to get a pen turned. I bought this kit Months ago to make a pen for myself. I had one bit of spalted beech left that looked like it would turn well. Very impressed with the kit. I wasn't sure a high gloss finish would show the wood at it's best so I opted for 3 thin coats...

    Practice, practice, practice

    Having taken advice from this forum and after my lesson with Mr mooney, I have spent the last few weeks, practising the art of sharpening a tool properly!!! I put some wood between centres and turned the RPM's up to 3100 (nearly twice the speed I was turning at). The result was some what...

    Carving Mallet

    After watching carving demos at Northumbrian Woodturners in April I decided to give carving a try. Don't hold your breath for any pictures of my work, I need a lot of practice before I produce anything worth posting. But rather than pay anything from £30 to £60 for a plain looking but good...
