Made this today and dressed it in a very nice piece of Thuya burr in keeping with what the Victorian cabinet makers would have used as vernier on their top quality furniture finished this one with sanding sealer and spray melamine to go in my collection

Needed some more little bird houses so just to top up my stock 7 more to add. Made from various odd bits and pieces of wood as I don't like to waste anything. Bottoms finished with acrylic sander sealer and semi gloss top coat. The roofs are ebonised and then coloured with Jo Sonja iridescent...

AKA Amboyna Burl. Bought this blank in the 1980,s time it came to the top. Peter.:thumbs::thumbs:

Hi all,Another trio of Tempests.From top to bottom;Ipe,Iroko,Beech.Comments welcome.

My brother in law has been building a camper van for the last few months during lock down and I grabbed some of his kitchen work top off cuts. He says is is oak ??? Its not perfect but I am still learning......

This is a TM Zeta in gold and gunmetal. The woods are beech and walnut with alluminiumapex top and bottom. The top bands are green,red and yellow guitar picks. The scollop at the bottom is kirnite. Have been turning pens 8 months now and really enjoy segmented pens.

As well as completing the earing stands I also managed to turn this bowl. There was no way that I could get the markings on the outside to be on the top which was a shame

Not sure if anyone in here can help but it doesn't harm to ask & I know people will do other things apart from turning pens lol May have a job where I would like to inset a brass square (100mm) into the top of a post, I can pocket the top of the post out easy enough so the brass plate sits...

Another present made this time a box to keep some stamps in as well as a place for things like tweezers in the top tray. The lid is held in place by the top tray as I wanted the bottom to be quite shallow to make it easier to get the stamps out of the divisions. Made from an old shelf unit of...

A Peter Child pyrography Kit... So had a little play... not sure about Randolph the red nosed monkey (top right) drawing is not a core skill I have found :funny: Kevin :banana:

Todays little effort from the workshop a small chestnut burr, Finished with sander sealer and buffed on a three wheel buffer. Measures 6" X 3 1/4". I had to tidy the top rim up as a piece broke off making it look untidy for a natural edge C & C welcome

Hopefully this will work and I have it in the right place? The Pen Stand that I made - 1 out of wood and the other out of Corian I used a template (Attached below) This has been scanned onto an A4 piece of paper so make sure you print directly onto an A4 piece of paper so its the same size. I...

Now the AWGB Seminar is nearly upon us it brings back a fond memory. Back in 2009 I had been off the lathe for 18 months due to sight loss & several eye operations. I decided to try turning again but I wanted to extend myself so I made a piece incorporating off centre & tilted turning. When Ian...

Hi guys, Had a commission from a gentleman in Bath, for four Mistrals, one of each and the fountain pen had a Bock 18kt solid gold nib on it. He wanted Thuya wood dressings on each pen, matched as good one could get. Had one split on the top barrel, so I had to get some other replacements from...

My first Minstrel pen kit. I got the centre band in the wrong location and I can not seat the piece that sits on top of the cap fully obviously I am doing something wrong. But what ever I would certainly do another one.

OK So its a busy pic using this rest.Hexed the top part a bit. Peter.

Outside offcuts from different Mallee Burls, the result of slicing to get pen and other blanks. Fair bit of burning rubbish but........... a few from the top random there are most pieces of great value to me. Peter.:thumbs:

Turned a mystery blank today just to try the pen kit,any ideas what it is ? Second question and i expect its me . I am trying this kit for the first time, and I must say I am impressed with the quality, but I ran into a problem. I pressed it together only to find the pen insert did not protrude...

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...
