Glasses stand

[Doug]

The secretary of the local woodturning club asked if I could turn some glasses stands for their charity stall, I was handed a piece of paper with the design on & this is my first attempt, apparently they sell extremely well.

So first up a little spindle moulding

Followed by some routing

& the blanks were ready

on to the lathe & the body was turned, I filled the slot with a scrap of wood while turning to prevent tear out it also meant I could bring up the tail stock

followed by the nose

after a buff & polish eyes were applied

6 more to go :D
