That is not a wood I have tried. Don't think there is any in Arizona lol. How did you like it?

Your time has value, you should consider that Art and not just a fancy bowl. A pole lathe, wow, I use my lathe to excess, yet can't imagine being the power plant as well. Your skill has the most value here (IMHO)

Very art deco! Nice work.

Once again, I am in awe of your skill and artistic eye. Not trying to fanboy you but wow. Thanks for posting your work

When you read this, you are thinking this person is talking about Trump. Wait until you get to the end. History repeats itself. You have been warned.

I would be most happy to work with you to make a pen customized for you. I am still discovering how bluesky works, so if you can't PM me here, PM me on facebook @sarkanysrising.

Just because I was sorting old photos.

I thought I should do something with some of my carvings instead of letting them just gather dust on a shelf, so I did a thing

I feel this down in my soul lol

I like the lines of this, it is smooth, delicate and beautiful as well as functional. You are an inspiration. I appreciate you sharing your art

ICE is planning immigration raids starting Tuesday. Please amplify.

Usually Basswood or Poplar, Cherry, Pine and Walnut. I have a piece of Sassafras I want to try out and I am sure there are others out there I want to try lol. I have carved a few things from Paduk but am really not happy with how it can splinter. Oak works too but it is hard on the knives.

Beautiful brother. I am still working on delicate pieces like this. a beautiful finish.

I do, While I have a pocket knife that goes with me, almost all my carvings are done with dedicated carving knives. I use Beavercraft knives mostly as I like supporting Ukraine, I have a couple I made and a couple Flexcraft. you only need a couple to get carving. A rougher and a detail will do.

Warning-Spoon carving is addicting. Very addicting. I end up spending lots of money on things for my addiction. I just came back from a local mill with $100 worth of end cuts of alder, poplar and basswood with a bunch of cherry included. Be Vwerry careful lol.

Nice work, I am enjoying your bottom cuts. They look great!

Hmm I have a bowl press that uses a screw to press the bowl segments together, I might try this lol

Some recent work

a Couple of my wood carvings. Years (16) ago I had cancer and was bed (chair) ridden for almost two years recovering from the surgery ( long story) I needed something to keep myself from going TV crazy so I bought a handle with replaceable blades and started wood carving.

some of my carvings, I love whimsey and spoon carving. While my retirement time is taken up woodworking of all kinds, my hobby and just for me are this type of carving. I will post some of my spoons another time. I got into carving when I was recovering from cancer surgery.

Sometimes, we make things cause we want to. nice work on the lathe and the knife, Now I want to make a knife. Sometimes, my carving tools are not as precise as an exacto,,,

As a woodcarver myself, I see your work and looking at your tools, I appreciate your pain lol. Beautiful brother. Thanks for sharing your art.

Why pick, both are excellent

So Cute
