Looking forward to finished piece!
I don't believe I ever turned tamarind yet. Would like to try some also.

Got this bedside lamp 97% done - still need to put the trim pieces on the shade. The lamp is mahogany, cholla ( @Nubsnstubs ) and sapele. Finished with wipe on poly. I opted to put a simple on/off switch in the cord rather than having to reach up beneath the shade.
Here's a shot with the unfinished shade - banana for scale.
Making the corner pieces and making it all fit nice and snug was the challenge on this one.

Very unique! Love it!
Beautiful banana - nice and plump!

My HVAC bud dropped by and left me with a blower. I started on the enclosure to make an hanging air scrubber. It’s a 4 speed motor so it will be interesting to see what speed I end up using.
Each side will have a 4” pleated MERV11 filter. So far I’m into this project for about 60 bucks. 50 for the filters and 10 for a 4 position switch. The rest comes from the scrap pile and junk box.

Very worthwhile project. Not seen anyone make one before. Chuck
Finally finished this trio of Jo Sonja painted hollow forms with several coats of spray lacquer.
And these cherry bowls. These were cored 18/24 months ago with @Steve in VA. 16” and 12”. There was a third small one but it cracked and could not save it.

Love the cherry bowls. The painted ones are excellent but for me I prefer natural wood look.
The painted HFs are just delightful! Cherry bowls are quite the pair! Love them all! Chuck
Love those hollow forms and the cherry bowls are sweet too!
Particularly like that smaller form on the left. The colors and patterns make a nicely unique form that is very attractive.

The oak is to say thanks to our Dog Groomer, it’s a piece from the wood she gave me last month. The maple will be part of a lake themed exhibit next month at one of the stores.
