Well the weather here in Minnesota is very warm and clear and as we all know this is good turning weather. Ive been very busy with another project so Ive just been noodling around the shop working on the fall art show projects and working on some of the wood Ive collected earlier this summer.
Heres a rundown as to whats on in the wood shop:
Fall Art Show
Here is the apple wood box Ive been working on. Ive done this rather slowly as the wood had a lot of water in it and I didnt want it to dry out too rapidly. Here is a photo of the box to begin with:
...and here is the box at present. Ive deepened the edge inside of the box that the lid rests on so as to set in the lid more and then I turned both the box and the lid so the edges would match up. Ive also eased the bottom edge of the box some and done a little preliminary sanding. Ive also narrowed down the finial on the top of the lid:
Here is what the inside of the box looks like:
And here is a side view of the entire thing. All in all Im rather happy with this piece at present. Im not going to do any more turning on this piece. I think its time to sand it some and start thinking about the finish:
Here is the box portion of the black ash tea box that Im making for the fall art show as well. Ive narrowed the box some and also narrowed the top of the box so it will take a smaller, narrower lid. The box turn came out well so Im going to stop turning this and begin thinking about what the lid should look like:
Tree branch bowlsHere are the bowls that I turned from the tree branch that I was working on in my last post. I dont think this is red oak, but black ash instead. Here are a couple of photos of the bowls at present:
As the wood was really wet, these are going to have to dry out for a week or so before I do anything else to them.I still have the linden wood box to work on so that will be in my next post as its posing a dilemma.
More later,
VW
