  1. Thanks Jeff. It’s about 8 inches high.
  2. Olive Wood Cross for friend. Ampersand iPad Holder (Cherry on either side of Padauk) for another friend. And Chuck the Beaver for Chuck's Custom Cabinets in my town, who generously called my husband to pick up some cut offs. Twas the least I could do, to give them back a piece of their wood.
  3. Two years ago that just might have happened. But now we happily shop wood together.
  4. Some women get roses. I got: My valentine's bouquet: 7ft. oak slabs, 25" wide, 2 1/4" thick. Yeah!
  5. Thanks Marg, I fixed it! Everybody, thank you for your kind words.
  6. A baby shower gift.
  7. thank you
  8. Made second one - this time with the grain going in the other direction. No breakage - but I also was even more careful than the 1st time around.
  9. Finished with walnut oil. Tree of Life © by Jon Rigsby III as fretwork. Made from Tigerwood. The most expensive wood I ever bought. 16 x 16"
  10. Very! I broke 3 already...
  11. Thank you, Dan. It is not oiled yet.
  12. Pattern © by Jon Rigsby III . Made from Tigerwood. (not Tiger Wood ;-))
  13. I could be wrong, but I thought they were designed by Danny van Wattingen. Either way, they are very cute!
  14. This is very beautiful. Is it your own pattern? I love it!
  15. Roly, they are about 15 cm.
  16. I am not quite sure if my tools were not sharp enough but I tried to cut a bead into the larger bowl and I could not make an impact. Or is Mahogany simply too hard to even try?
  17. As a German friend said, turning on the lathe wastes so much wood, that you could make so much more out of. So I scrolled these two thingies yesterday and finished them on the lathe. Now being a total turning novice, they are not quite as great as I would have liked. But I am quite happy with the outcome. The woods are hickory, cherry and mahogany.
  18. Thank you for your kind words, as always, friends. Happy new year to all!
  19. Ralph, I actually go to TJMAXX and scour their cutting boards.
  20. Yep, Jeff - three of them. And thanks for your encouraging words!
  21. Made from Italian Olive wood. I made two. Pictures show both sides of them.
  22. aromatic cedar btw.
  23. My daughter asked for a holder - so I re-did last year's ampersand.
