Salt and Pepper - Laburnum

[PhillH]

Enjoyed these, the laburnum had some little branches off which became nice features and nice contrast between sap and heartwood.

Polish finish.

I like them, really neat finish and shape..

They look good Phil, nice bit of beading but to much for me.
I think that takes a touch away from the character of the wood.
Background is a bit busy too but I am sure they look good with a dinner in front of em init?

Nice bit of turning Phill !!!

 

[bassethound]

Very nice work indeed, lovely finish!

I am not sure about all the beads maybe a few less, not easy trying to design something as small as these without adding to much. You have still done a good job on them.

Love to see these made, maybe less beads around the base area but a nice set still the same ..

Not sure my opinion counts for much in this company but I like exactly that number of beads Phil! Do you use a beading tool?

 

[chas_41_uk]

A very nice pair
I agree with Derek and Brian though, less beading would have been better :wink:

Course it does !

Yes, I cheated with the cutter on the Sorby multi tip

Derek's right it is a nightmare trying not to just turn a boring cylinder, maybe I did over do the beads.

I like em, beads and all.

 

[Buckeye]

A really nice set

A lovely set there Phil. I like the contrast of the sap and heartwood and you've turned and finished them very nicely

[Vic Perrin]

Look good to me I must have a go at these sometime

[Woody]

Nice bit of turning Phill I like the way you have made them so that they can be compressed sorry mate good tool control and well spaced but to much for me

 

[wm460]

Very nice work but the beads over power them.

 

[Paul]

I think the beads add to the oddness. Something interesting is going on with the wood contrast vertical and the beads confuse horizontal which makes me wanna pick them up and have a good look. So I think the beads work here.

Looking good Phill, where did you get the kits from?
