Description}: Here's another I was planning to throw out. It's plum. That's why it cracked so bad. 4 colors. I didn't fill in the crack since this was practice, but now I think it looks kinda neat. The crack gives it depth, in my opinion. The worst part about this is that my wife now wants me to paint the kitchen in this style.

Description}: Here is one I was going to throw out due to the finish being so bad. The wood is maple, but just wouldn't take a finish. When I read an article in Woodturning about using faux painting, I decided to try it on a couple of pieces destined for the fire. The paint is acrylic with acrylic sealer. I used several colors.

Description}: This piece is an ebonized walnut box with a Kiwi Black finish. I had to figure something out for the wax now that I never have to shine combat boots again. Glad I tried it.

Description}: This piece, I'm afraid, looks much better on a coffee table than on a wall. Better yet, on a stand lying back at an angle. It's made of: Poplar - Whitewashed, burned, and textured. Walnut - Ebonized. And Hemp - Black dyed and bleached, woven. Total dimensions are 11 7/8"x3".

In memory . . .

Description}: My dad does real estate. He was asked to go with a man to his fathers house to help him sell it for a fair price. The father is recently deceased. They had no idea what they were going to find in the basement. This guy had a woodshop in the basement with all kinds of exotic woods and tools. Neither Dad or the other guy had a clue as to the worth of these woods and so when dad said he'd have me come look, the guy said "ahh, I'll just sell you the wood for $30 and auction off the tools". These are just five of the woods I received for mere pennies from an unknown turner. May he rest in peace. L-R: Ebony, Brazilian Walnut, Kingwood, Tulipwood, Bocote.

I think I like HF's

Description}: The last one was so fun that I had to do another. 6.75"W x 3.5"H. 1/4" thick. These can certainly be a challenge. You definitely learn how to see with more than your eyes on these.

Mulberry Before

by: jgo317

Description}: I turned a piece of mulberry last night that fell in a storm. Here it is finished green. Lets see what happens over the next few days. I put it in a couple paper bags with it's own very wet shavings after I put a good coat of linseed oil on it. Any guesses on how it will turn out?

Description}: I love this stuff. Awesome color/patterns. Plus, the worm holes add character. Speaking of, is it the waste from the worm that causes the streaking in the amrosia maple?

More walnut

by: jgo317

Description}: I was surprised it turned out okay. I turned it green and left it in the soap for a week. It sank to the bottom and other walnut bowls had blackened the water so I forgot it. It barely warped.
