I like those mechanisms...where did you get them?

What does the bottom look like? Is it the same as twist top grinders?
Pretty much. When I get home I'll edit this and add a picture.

Last night I took a few coffee mugs out of clamps after gluing the inserts in a few days ago. I'll have pictures when I update my classroom thread on the mugs later with the final steps.
Need to do some organizing in our basement today. Hoping to work on some more mugs - I've got a bunch that are ready to be finish turned and I'd like to get them done.

Finally completed this bowl. Finish is Odie’s Oil.

That's a beauty Tom!
Did a small run of cookbook/iPad stands for my Etsy shop today. Daughter wanted one made out of English Brown Oak. I found the board for this in Rick Hearne's cutoff box last week. First time I've worked with this wood. Looks like an old antique when finished. The color comes from a fungus that invades the tree and turns the wood brown while it is still growing. Evidently some mushrooms cause it and it's mostly found in England, thus the name.

Just started a hollow vessel.
Can't wait to see the finished product!!!
Very nice Tom!
Man that spalting is beautiful
Larry, it is maple. The guy I got it from had a bunch of it. I grabbed one piece but might have to go back for a pile of it to share with the WB hoarders.
Get as much as you can, John. That is special. How tall will the vessel be?Larry, it is maple. The guy I got it from had a bunch of it. I grabbed one piece but might have to go back for a pile of it to share with the WB hoarders.
Really like that oak. I make several rustic type items. That would save some steps taken to make it look rustic. Nice job Larry.
almost 10"
Hearne gets $15 per bf for this wood so you need to carefully choose your projects. I found this piece in his cut-off bin that he sells for $1 a lb. Just lucky to find it.
