Ever since I got into woodturning, I’m always on the lookout for felled wood I can easily gather and use for projects. I’ve made dozens of items out of the hackberry, oak, ash and cedar from around my area. I love to see what some would consider trash wood turned into something cool (like the Guinness logo) or even something beautiful.
I’ll show off a picture of some of my work in a more appropriate thread sometime. We turners do like to show off.
I am looking forward to getting my Glowforge. I have some ideas that would make my segmented pieces very cool, I think.
Mid sized. 12 inch swing over the bed, or 10.5 over the tool rest holder.
I tend to make small items like birdhouse Christmas ornaments, pepper grinders, lidded boxes, and my favorite afternoon project; goblets. I love turning goblets. Basically useless, but fun.
Someone once described that plugin to me, as if you were stuck on a desert island and the only way to survive was slice with that plugin, they might use it…
Very nice. I have some mesquite branches I plan on doing some thing similar with. And I love Guinness, especiallly at the Dublin storehouse. It is SO MUCH tastier fresh than after being shipped across the pond.
