wine

So the wife reciprocated her sewing box, with amongst other things an Axi Gift Card..... So armed with said card I visited the store and spent a small fortune on top of it on a new lathe and chuck system!!! Anyway long story short here is my first effort at a bowl (never tried one previously)...

Masur birch Mistral with Melamine Lacquer finish. Housed in one of my own made boxes and wine foam insert.

Made a wine bottle stopper some time ago with a little CNC machined Bird on the top, my Mum really liked the wooden Bird & asked if I could make a couple for her but without the wine bottle stopper, taken me ages to get round to doing this but finally got them done. One Beech, One American White...

My good friend Glenpen asked a few days ago how do you know the difference between a Chinese twist and a Taiwan twist. I have started a new thread as I thought it may be of interest and someone may miss an older post. Today I have had a delivery of some Fancy Slimline Touch Stylus pen kits in...

Just in case you are looking forward to the summer time this week I understand that its coming up from my part of the country.... well, this weekend I was doing a demo in a vineyard, yesterday was 35 in the shade today 37. The only cool place was at dinner at 2000 hrs in the winery , it got...

Well put my bashed bowl behind me and had a quick turn this morning, a Goblet. Making a long stem is a bit nerve racking with all the chatter. The stem is still thicker that i wanted but i'll work up to that. It's just oak finished with three coats of sanding sealer, which was then cut back with...

So here are the first followed by 3 more, top to bottom in order of manufacture, all are in wine barrel Oak from the chateau St Sernin and all smell of wine so the finish is minimal micromesh to 1000 grit and white diamond buffing.

Well he did with his dip pen question!! So then he posted a link and I just had to have a go!! Coincidentally I got invited by a winery to go and exhibit and demonstrate at an open doors season in their place, the theme being their barrels, their barrel staves, or their vine pickets. So I...

To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine... and those who don't. As Ben Franklin said: "In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria." In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 litre of water each day, at the end...

I have been experimenting with cutting wine bottles so I can make them into wine glass'. I then turn a simple bottom. These are the first ones of the lathe and no I am not happy with them yet but I can see the potential. Other ideas I have are to make desk lamps and with the bottom of the wine...

Wine Glass and captive ring in sapele sanded to 400 grit friction polish finish

This is a Spiritual pen from Signature Pen Supply, in antique rose copper. The blank is a Woodshed acrylic called Mulled Wine. I didn't know what to expect from a blank with a name like that, but I was pleasantly surprised!

Being a wine lover and living in the Cahors wine region, I was asked to demonstrate and sell my stuff in a 5 week session and help out interpreting for wine tastings!! What a horrible job:goesred: So I made a load of pens and desk stands out of the Malbec grape vine Well someone's...
