First Turning of 2015

Postby Dalboy » 06 Jan 2015, 14:36

Well I have managed to get the first turning of 2015.

I confess in as much that it was started some time ago and put on hold while I made Christmas presents and the like.

Turned from tulip wood and glued to give me the thickness of material needed. It has 4 separate pieces for the main part. I painted it with artist acrylic paints. The letters on the front are cut from 1/16" ply and when stuck on sanded to make them even thinner they stand 1/2" tall and a little fiddly to make.

It stand 8" tall and 3 1/2" at the widest point

Cool, I like that. What's it going to be used for, anything in particular or just decorative?

This was one of them just for fun turnings which I quite often do.

There is a wooden disc in the bottom held in with a couple of screws.
