So I had a 'request' from SWIMBO..could I do some turnings for her work colleagues? As always, I always seem to accumulate a pile of offcuts of one sort or another and turning them into a selection of bowls and platters seemed a good way to dispose of them. Herewith then a selection of nine little bowl and platters together with a small goblet. Timbers used were burr elm, elm, mahogany, pine, walnut, oak and brown oak:
The small goblet in English Walnut was particularly irksome to turn and started off thus:
...as it had a huge crack down the middle, but it seemed to turn out quite well:
All pieces were signed and dated:
...using a pyrography tool. If you work for Sainsbury's in Salisbury and can be there at 4am on Wednesday morning, you can claim on of these little offerings free and gratis.
One way to increase the brownie points - Rob
