turning a chuck of the whiskey barrel stave... wish you could scratch and sniff this!

Some old whiskey barrel staves from Hiram Walkers - white oak and characol burned. Turning them smelled heavenly as all the whiskey fumes came out of the wood pores ;-)

The pear wine topper, the tigerwood pen and the key fob are mine... used to show the scale of this delightful, fully functional plane.

Top one is mine, turned in response to a "here's a blank - go try it" in the woodshop. bottom pair are ones he'd turned as samples.

a friend had espalier pears trained up the side of the garage... planted there *years* ealier.. and uncerimoniously ripped down by the roofers... sigh. I collected some of the best gnarly bits and turned some bottle toppers.

The pear came through with wonderful colour variations and I deliberately left some of the bark.

basic turning done for another wine bottle topper.
