Welcome to my new blog. This is going to be a project log where you can see what's been keeping me busy.
To start off a little background; I have been turning on a wood lathe now for a few years, I started on a Wilton mini-lathe and wore the belt out on that one (I still need to replace it!) and then in summer of 2008 I got a bigger lathe, nothing fancy just a simple model from Harbor Freight, but it has worked for me so-far, it's big enough and strong enough for the type of stuff I make.
Anyway to start off here's a few pictures from a simple project: Making a mushroom from a log of Locust wood.
This log was donated by friends of ours, actually it was rescued from their firewood pile.
Anyway after a little turning it looked like a mushroom was taking shape...
And then a little more shaping and smoothing and Voila!! a mushroom!
(The blocks it is standing on is part of another project check back later to see more about that one.)
