Hi guys, not posted anything for a while thought I would share this ear ring stand with you, its made of yew and is 195mm tall x 125mm at its widest, its turned in 4 different pieces, if you'd like to see how its made, check out woodturner21 on youtube, he is an awesome turner especially with the skew chisel. c&c welcome.
cheers

I have to say that that is a lovely piece of artwork, but I do have one question, have you actually hung any earrings from it? because from your dimensions the distance from the holes to the outer rim looks a bit thick, having made quite a few for the markets; I steal my wife's earrings just to make sure that they hang loosely.

I do like the fact that you have added a baize bottom, dressing tables are so unforgiving of hard impacts be they old or modern.

Hi Pierre
I did try some earrings before gluing it together and they fit fine (must be how the picture is taken,) the baize serves 2 purposes, 1 is to protect the surface as you said and the other is to cover up the hole from the screw chuck which was plugged before sticking the baize on
