I have been given a (large) piece of slate. It is about 14" square (ish) and 1 1/4" thick. I had asked if he had any broken pieces and this was the result. I originally wanted a pen blank size piece to see if I could make a pen. My problem is will this stuff machine easily.?? Do I need special...

After reading Mark Sangers great article in this months woodturning mag, I decided to give his project a go, I have stayed pretty faithful to Mark's original piece apart from my texturing is a bit different regards Andy

The New Atom Click Pen made in Bocote one piece . Glen:face:

Good morning, I'd like to let you know of an international charity event I am organising which is quickly growing in popularity on Facebook and Twitter. Entitled 'A Turn for the Good' I have teamed up with a friend in the US to organise woodturners from around the globe to turn a piece for...

I have put this here and see how it goes. And then I will post the finished item in the correct place. I did start with a sketch with this one but due to a small detail that did not look right I went and cut another piece of wood to return it, but not wanting to waste the piece I decided to...

I have been asked to make a desk set for a 60th and am looking for a pen trumpet that will take a larger pen. Does anyone make these? They all seem to be for slimline type pens. The lady want a three piece set I was thinking maybe Pen, paper clip magnetic bowl and letter opener. What things...

Small Oak Vase. I picked this piece of Oak up and started to turn it for another project that is going to be decorated all over, but when I rough turned it to allow it to do any moving before making the piece in question I discovered that the grain although quite straight wa to good to cover up...

Well this is the first of my latest acquisition of wood to boost the pile. The wife came in two weeks ago telling me there is a notice up on a lamp post lest than 100feet around the corner stating that the road will be closed during the day for 2 weeks while trees are cut down. Anyway Monday...

I have come by some cherry and would like some advice on the best way to cut it for bowls. As you can see from the pictures i have marked the bigger piece with felt tip pen to find the centre. It is a ovalish shape and thought of cutting it in half along the grain, then in half again half way...

I wasn't going to show this because it is a failure. It is a modified slimline with an olive wood blank. It's a failure because it was supposed to have a bumpy grip between the lower burnt lines. It was trying out a technique used by Japanese netsuke carvers to raise bumps on a piece of wood. I...

Just celebrating the wonderful Buckeye Burr, which always intrigues me. This piece in a Baron kit

Hi all, There is a special exercise we have here in France since tree centuries or so, that is turning a piece of wood as long as possible, with a very thin "hair" and some bigger motives or "masses". We call it a "trembleur", a shivering piece. I wonder if there is a word in English for that...
