I will use this section to display some of the items that I have created more recently. After a month or so, I will move them to the post that fits the genre of the piece.
12 INCH CHERRY/WALNUT PLATTER

12 INCH CHERRY/WALNUT PLATTER – 01/25 – This platter is made from a cherry disc surrounded by a cherry ring and framed by a walnut ring. It is finished with “teak oil” so it can be used with food.
12″ dia. x 1-1/4″ H
WALNUT/CHERRY/MAPLE BOWL

WALNUT/CHERRY/MAPLE BOWL – 01/25 – My largest turning to date. This bowl is made by gluing up 12 segmented rings; four walnut and three cherry rings with five thin maple rings dividing them. Each ring has 10 segments, for a total of 120 individual pieces of wood. I decided to make it in a classic “bowl” shape and I am very happy with the result.
6-1/2″ Tall x 9″ dia.
CHERRY VASE WITH BURN RINGS
CHERRY VASE WITH BURN RINGS – 12/24 – This little cherry vase started out to be another phone megaphone; while hollowing out the inside it started to wobble and got too far “off-center.” I saved as much as I could and made this piece instead. The burn rings are made with a sharp piece of oak pressed against it at high speed.
4-1/2″ H x 4-1/2″ dia.
PHONE MEGAPHONES
PHONE MEGAPHONES – 12/24 – I made these phone megaphones as Christmas gifts. The sound amplification is amazing; almost triple the normal phone volume. The first one is made from a block of pine and measures 8″ long x 3″ in diameter. The second one is made form segmented cherry wood and measures 9″ long and varies from 4-1/2″ to 2″ in diameter.
BLUE PINE SNOW FAMILIES


BLUE PINE SNOW FAMILY 12/24 – I turned these snow families from some left over blue pine scraps. A fun project for Christmas time and nice gifts for family members.
10″ & 6″ Tall x 3-1/2″ & 2-1/2″ dia.
LIVE EDGE CHERRY BOWL


LIVE EDGE CHERRY BOWL 12/24 – A turning from the end of the log that had a burl used earlier. The log had a large split that I filled with a wedge of hard maple. Finished with polyurethane varnish.
8″ dia. x 2-1/2″ T
MAPLE BOWL

MAPLE BOWL 12/24 – A turning from a scrap of Norway Maple left over from a live edge table project. The black line under the rim was pressure burned in using a sharp piece of oak. Finished with teak oil.
6″ dia. x 1-1/2″ T
