The last of the Indian Mahogany

Indian Mahogany, about 230 mm high. the vessel has warped as bit as I turned it, adding to the uniqueness!

All of the latest Indian Mahogany seemed to have quite a coarse grain but with some lovely interplay beteen sap and heartwood. The trick is to see if I can take advantage of it.

Some more Indian Mahogany

Indian Mahogany, turned with the end grain parallel to axis, about 200 mm tall.

 A different shape for me but it's good to push boundaries. The pencil markings are for some further design to come. It's about 200 mm tall as well.

Some formal pictures of items completed...

It's a bit image heavy this week. We had our yearly exhibition last week and items were properly completed. Here's are some better pictures taken in the light tent.

 Some small hollow forms - the nearest one is from Olive

More small hollow forms - the nearest one is from River Bush Willow

And yet more small hollow forms. The nearest one is from Silky Oak and the rest from Indian Mahogany.

The whole gallery - the tallest is 80 mm

A natural edge that I started while demoing last week at the exhibition. the turning is completed - just sanding and finish to be applied. Made from Indian Mahogany
