They are spheroids with a hole drilled in them. More will be revealed later.
What did you do in your shop today?

This is what I thought. Just wanted to make sure I was seeing them correc.
And that questionable piece of walnut lives to serve another day.
No, I did not keep it simple, but after being away from the lathe for so long, I had fun. Overcame a bit of a design flaw on my part. Again, nice to figure out the solution. Horrible pictures I am afraid….will see in a moment.

Finished the prototype. The woods don't match, but they will for the final pieces. Think I need to change the shape of the feet to make them a little more cartoonish.
i think they will work….lI am getting that clown feeling on the back of my neck.
It's Cheech Wizard!!
Somebody has found the eggnog early!

Omg, I haven't seen that since the 70's, lol.
Just a simple bottle opener finished up.
Bolivian rosewood was on the label.

Well, something started this morning…..some itching, etc………I think I am allergic to Bolivian rosewood……wow, ugly, irritated skin around where my shirt collar was a little open. Hmmmmmm. 2 more pieces may end up being sent to one of y’all.
That sucks Gary. What size pieces and what would you want for them?
Rub the red areas with Dawn dish soap, non scented, original. Wait 5 minutes. It should tingle and even might burn a little. Then hop in the shower and rinse with warm water, not hot. This will pull a lot of the oils from your skin and slow the rash from spreading. A 'benedril' might help, but for some causes the rash to spread. If the 'benny' helps you with poison ivy it will likely help with this. If at any time you feel swelling in the neck, throat or tongue, get to the ER.
Yep, taking Benadryl….and a few ointments. The Dawn idea makes a lot of sense. Thank you.
I started roughing the second one…just one end. They are about 1.5 square by 6 long. Handle sized, game call. One of those deals where I bought a few on sale at Woodcraft. I had the intentions of making a set of utensils such as the pizza cutter and server.
Eric, if I am not breaking any rules…….. well, it …..let me start this way. Part of this move the last few months has had some real bright spots. Some of those has been moving around these flat rate boxes of wood that I have gotten from incredible folks on Wood Barter. Eric, there is more than one from you. I am very serious about trying to keep all the wood I use labeled as to what it is and who it came from. As I start getting more serious now, I am going to try to keep that going.
The reason I said this, Eric, they are yours. You have sent so many peanuts in all of those boxes, this is just a very small thank you.
Besides, I am trying to influence a moderator….never know when I will need to be bailed out of forum jail.

Been recovering from surgery and finally got back in the shop for awhile today. Got them turned and had enough, will sand and finish next time.
Always a real pleasure to see the progress you make in your shop! Hope the surgery was minor! Chuck
