An update on this blogs' status

Some time ago I setup my own static woodturning website.

Please note that this blog will be moving and becoming part of this website and can be found in the links portion or specifically at http://www.abwoodturning.co.za/blog

A teaser....

Here's a teaser of  a piece I completed today. It's made from Jacaranda and it about 320 mm (13") tall. Visit my webpage to see more....

I'm blogging again

I took a break from blogging over the holidays but I am now back.
I did not take a break from the hobby though....

Lots of burning here but I am nearly done.

















Some basketweave designs

The holes are completed...

The holes have been made and the layout has been burnt in so that I should not get confused

The roughing out of the design has now started - many hours to go!

I am still doing flowers

I am still developing the flower theme in between the other works in progress. I find myself working on multiple projects at a time and feel that I never finish anything!
This is a piece which I started working on at a demo at our yearly exhibition.

The start of something new

I turned a tall vase from Jacaranda this week. I now start with the carving - over the next couple of weeks the progress will be posted.

My biggest piece yet

My tallest piece yet! Turned from Jacaranda obtained from Pretoria Girls High. It's 310mm (12") with a diameter of 170 mm (6 1/2") Turned thick with a view to some carving to be done once dry.
