Ash Bowl

 Here's a 7 inch diameter Ash bowl, a little over 3 inches high. Nice chunk of wood. Beautiful grain. I gave this to the fellow down the street who's tree this came from. It's a thank-you for giving me some of that wood from his Ash tree.

Liquid-Amber Bowl

This is a 5.5 inch diameter by 1.75 inch high Liquid-Amber wood bowl. It was turned while green, and sanded after drying. I was trying out some new color stains, and since this wood is very light colored, I thought I'd use it as a test. Often, as in this case, (before staining) I flattened the base so the bowl sits flat on this surface.

Live Edge Liquid-amber Bowls

 These are 6 and 7 inch bowls turned from green Liquid-amber tree wood (a lot like Maple). I expect them to warp and I'm OK with that. You can't sand the wood when it's green. When it was dry, I hand sanded them. No finish on these. The wood is almost white now but I expect it to turn a honey amber color with age.

Ironwood Scoop

 This is a 4 inch long Ironwood Eucalyptus scoop. This is my first attempt at scoops. This is turned on a lathe but the curved cut-away is shaped with a belt sander.

Ash Wood Knives

Here are a couple of 9 inch long Ash wood knives. Knurled handles. These are spreader knives. Turned on
the lathe, then blades shaped with a belt sander. These were further hand-sanded and oil/wax finished. 

Spreader Knives

 These 5.5 inch long spreaders are for soft spreads: butter, cream cheese, etc.. The blades are Maple wood and the handles are Walnut.

Tiny Scoop

 

Turned a tiny scoop . . . just to see if I could. Not very useful. Practice for my spindle gouge.
