More turning

[Paul hd]

Hi all,
Got some turning done today. This was the first time I used ca glue as a finish.
I'm a big fan of the high shine finish.

This is Burr Elm. It was meant to be a pen but I made a mistake and had to install the letter opener. That is why the wood is not flush with letter opener hardware.


Here I used black locust and acrylic tortoise shell effect shims.


This is Brown Mallee. A beautiful figured wood.

 

Regards
Paul

Thanks Kevin,

If you get a chance to get hold of a lathe you will not regret it. Very rewarding.

Hi Roly,

It is rather pungent and not good. I think I'm going to be using ca fairly often so I will look into the odourless stuff.

 

Cheers

Paul, even if you do switch to odor-free CA glue, you should still wear a respirator. Just because it's odor-less, doesn't mean that it no longer harmful.

I am very fond of the tiny vase.

 

Outstanding work there.

 

The other things are nice; but that vase really appeals to me!
