I have started bringing some of the smaller ones down to finish turn. The one farthest away is oak from my brother that I turned in the spring. The other four are maple from our backyard. They look good in the photo, but they have issues. I give them all a B- to B+.
Finish turned six of these guys. the American Beech also from my brother’s yard.
The last piece of butternut. I turned one in the usual way (top of bowl in the center of the log) and one as natural edge. I’m happy with this natural edge! Definitely getting there. It still needs to be sanded and sealed. I’ll try to remember to post a photo when that is done. We’ll see what the feather running down the middle looks like.
Some ornaments from scraps. Woods are (in no particular order), beech, ash, cherry, silver maple, sugar maple, lilac.
Left to right: lilac with bark left, butternut, cherry x 2, spalted maple. Merry Christmas!
