A slow week...

I am currently reworking this piece - removing a textured surface with a Dremel makes it quick.

This is the state of the lathe right now. I am in the process of upgrading the motor to 3 phase with variable speed - So it's more carving for me !

Something new (for me at least).....

I prefer wet wood to turn but in this case it was given to me very dry. I did half of the work and nature the other half! 

Made from Silver Birch.The idea is to do a minimal finish to preserve the raw look.

 Made from Karee, still wet but already pushing out the base as the grain runs vertically in this one - maybe it'll turn out to be wobble pot.
