all my woodwork so far

[se7enthdevil]

i did a fair few sets of balls over the last couple of years

this is meant to be a very large version of table skittles. that ball is about 7" across.

these ones replaced an old set in Wales.

one of the smallest sets i've done at 3" diameter.

 

 

 

[se7enthdevil]

this is a blast from the past.

 

in 2018 i was asked to make the original set and they finally wore out after being left outside and used and abused for nearly 4 years. they are 23" tall.

the next job was to recreate this big sucker, a 10" skittle ball.

i managed to turn a 7 7/8" from a bit of Argentine Lignum i had bought on ebay.

the ball weighed 5.25kg

the next two i had to use some of my genuine lignum that i've bought over the years.

 

this log was about 1m by 10-11" diameter and weighed 75kg. 

the block i cut off weighed 22.5kg and the finished 10 3/16" ball weighed 11.4kg.

some of the most recent sets i've done.

 

these will be some of the last pins for a while as i've no dry timber left.

 

i like this one, first a perfectly normal set of 10"x 5" with 4 1/2" Genuine Lignum balls. then the tiny set which are for toddlers, 6"x 3" with 3 " Genuine Lignum balls.

they have gone to the national trust property "Trerice" in Newquay i think.

 

the customer wanted a case with this set.
