tyty Kevin, we are hoping to do a craft fair in kennesaw georgia in april and i hope they sell.

yeah i would love to have that for lathe, maybe one day

len, my drill press doesnt drill straight it likes to go off center so i use the larger one so i can turn it down and account for the side that is off center so itll be a bit fatter then a reg slim line pen...once i get an upgraded drill press i got a bunch of corian that is about 1/2 in wide that i want to get made into pens... but i guess u get what u pay for when it comes to tools...the bigger lathe is what i use to make canes. Thanks

Jim

these are the pens I made in the past few months

Marshall, and Kevin, thanks guys.. yeah marshall, my wife loves the cruxification piece... sawtooth6 did a very good job on making the pattern. especially when you stand back from it, looks almost 3-d like Kevin.. will do coming soon

hmmm, i wonder.. i am not recieving emails when a comment is posted, thanks for everyone comments, sorry it took me this long

Brett, Travis, thanks for the comments, greatly appreciated...

Travis, I am making them to sell on ebay until my 50 free auction listings end.. I am at 40 or so. then I will add them on etsy, which i already have a few there.. its a www.etsy.com/shop/turkeymtndesigns

getting alot of lookers, but only sold 1 sycamore walking stick so far...

thanks again guys

thanks dan, it was fun for the most part... plus seeing her face when she got it was priceless

Did this the last few days.. took an old porch wring and converted it to a bench for my aunt. she collects coca cola stuff and she wanted the sign to be part of it. legs are hickory logs

wood is mostly cedar.

sycamore cane

winged elm handle

2 coats of spar urethane

face hand carved

Dan, In my opinion it turns well, just like yeloow poplar, specially if your gouges are sharp.... turns like butter... lame yes but eh.. lol

good luck, post pic when u can

thanks

I shouldve made the handle thicker so it would be the size of the width of the cane, but i like it this way. im 6'4" and it fits me perfect

this one is on ebay, if you want to see just copy paste the subject into ebays search

finished with spar urethane 3 coats

its about 39 inches long

sure oges, its a close pic keep in mind this is my first 3d carving,

thanks

this is a yellow poplar cane, with a wolf cane topper,

also in pic, a squirell siting on my phone, pattern for squirrel from steve good

Travis, thanks, yeah pic doesnt do it justice, I can only turn up to 41 inches, and has to be pretty straight. I am working on a yellow poplar one now, just got done rough cutting it. should be finished tomorrow.. will post pic

I would love to make custom canes,etc, i sold a sycamore walking stick on ebay 2 weeks ago, but these canes are a bit more indepth in detailing. Now for the big question, how much should i charge. ughhh thinking about pricing really screws my brain up lol

thanks again for the comment,

Jim
