cherry

Not done much in the way of turning lately. This is a piece that I started at the beginning of the week but went wrong a couple of times and had to repaint it. The main pod is Ash and the ring stand is cherry. The wife thought I was making a lemon well with all the problems I felt like one.

This one is between a platter and a bowl, it's japanese cherry with a part of burr

Made this from the cherry blossom tree in my yard.

Morning, Like to share a couple of hollow forms (vases?!) of mine. The top row is Sycamore with a Cherry insert, the bottom Oak also with a Cherry insert. Both measure around 130mm high by 95mm around the middle. Designed to accept a plastic tube for water, though you can't see that very well...

In Derek's thread 'knocking on heavens door', showed the generosity of a friend, I mentioned that simultaneously I had been offered some cherry, I was a bit sceptical about the dimensions since I had never heard of a 20 meter cherry tree... Well I went to collect the main trunk sections.... I...

Well a knock at the door sent me to heaven again. Some great pieces of wood including oak, beech, mahogany, sapele, tulip wood and some which I think is cherry maybe someone can tell me if I am right.

This Cherry just seams to get better with each piece I cut. This an off cut from a larger blank which I will working with on a couple of fountain pens soon. Had to go with a thin top, the piece was to small to use really, just could not bin it. Dave

This spalted cherry is so very soft takes some working. Found that CA glue on the end before turning helps to stop it fraying. Nothing fancy but I think it works well enough with the black.

Knurl pen Cherry Burl

Well patience ran out and I had to try one of the blanks I made a few days ago. Helped by the fact I cut some of the cherry logs I have and they are just as good so plenty to go at. Finished in wax to show a customer who has ordered a pair of Mistrals in the same wood and finish. Not the best...

Made this one with Cherry and added a horse head clip.

I was just starting to cut a small seasoned cherry brach up to make a few pen stand for a display. Luckily I took and end off and noticed how spalted it was. I managed to get 5 good pen blanks out of it. Just have to wait for it to settle for a few weeks now - dam I hate waiting. Oh and search...

Another knurled pen in cherry burl

A pain to finish but got there in the end
