My lathe work

[Richard Thompson]

So as not to hijack Bob's thread here's some of my lathe work

 

mahogany, hawthorne and yew

 

lyme wood apples with mahogany stems and a laurel wood pear with an old oak stem

 

my first yew wood accorn

 

boxwood, lyme and laurel

 

and finaly an acacia wood thistle shawl pin for my scottish neighbour

[Lazurus]

Nice spindle work, I like the pin, neat idea.

Those 2 apples and the pair at the back look good enough to eat:thumbup:

Nice work. I really want to try the acorns after seeing yours. I've got some small bits of oak that should be ideal for those
