Hi all, this is a gun metal bolt action pen with my first Patterson Grant true card blank.....i really like it as it was easy to turn and polished well...

My first piece of proper turning for a while I spent just under an hour in there and it was cool enough to go into the shed this morning so decided to turn one of my London Plane blanks that I have the finished bowl is 8 3/4" X 1 3/4"

Found a bit of scrap wood so knocked this out to see how it would turn out

A few razors all with Blanks made by Sawes (Scott) great blanks to turn

Not much time for turning recently because the wife's had me renovating the kitchen. I guess it's better than buying a new one so I shouldn't complain. Anyway, I've managed to turn and burn a modified slimline. I'm moving up the ladder and I'm going to burn a zeta next. Regards George

Didn't want to hijack Coll's post so started a new one. These blanks have been made for a couple months but didn't turn them until today. I have another dozen to finish. One is Hickory and the other Maple. Both with blue dyed poplar veneer.

Don't know what the blank is but it was awfully hard to turn (could be my tools are blunt:ciggrin:)

In the blank room found a box with these two blanks unturned the Spanish Olive Wood with a New Guinea Rosewood pair ready for Slimlines. This was set aside in 2013 with others. I bought them in France, got a kick out of getting them through a guy in France and besides Olive Wood is so...

Well I thought as it is the beginning of another year that it be only right that I turn a pen. This is a chrome Baron (well that's what was on the packet)with a red/black blank. It is also a rare occasion for me to turn a pen will have now need to find something else to do to get over the...

Here are the pens I turned from paint residue. I was given some dried paint lumps and managed to turn two standard twist pens and an Omega Fountain pen from Talors Mirfield. It is still a bit hairy to turn as if it gets too warm it starts to delineate and flies all over. I use a tungsten tipped...

I have made pens out of wood and acrylic, i have also made two pens out of polyester one a total disaster and one that is absolutely beautiful when viewed in sunlight. It was more difficult to turn in that i had to take very small cuts but that was well made up for the finish. But the stink...

I am about to try my first oak burls (a friend dropped off a bootload of wood with some nice stuff on it), but I am not sure which way I should turn it! I have a couple of bits already separated from the trunk, and pretty dry. When turning bowls etc, what is the 'usual' way to turn it - is the...

Hi all some thing for my youngest daughter outdoor plant stand again could someone turn this photo for me thanks

I went for a walk today near where i live, the wooded area is being turned back to heathland as it was years before. All the spruce trees have been cut down, i found three bits that i think would be suitable for small bowls. Anyone know what it's like to turn. There is loads of suitable bits...

There's actually a campaing to promote fruit and vegetable consumption... I eat them and turn them too

Someone kindly posted this on UK workshop forum and would be very helpful for those of us who would like to turn our dust extraction on/off remotely. SILVERCREST Remote Controlled Socket SetD Tree - Thursday, 24.11. - Lidl UK

I had this lot delivered today from a friend for Pens for heroes 56 1" square pen blanks and a stack of 4" sq disk of corian type material and a big lump about 12" sq x 1" thick which I'm tempted to turn a dish from

Love these blanks, so easy to turn and they look great. Simon
