I love that metallic blue. Nice job!
The tank and side panels were red. Fairing and bags were white.
Hope you're getting a samich for all that good work!
Or at least a taco or burrito.

Flame box elder. One coat of blo for a finish.

Perfect shaped bowl! Immaculate! Chuck
First coat of oil. Walls are abt 3/16” below the 5/8 undercut rim, very light for a bowl this size. Like this one.

A li/le work in the shop tonight. Burned some edges.
Not going as heavy with the burned effect for this batch.
The catalpa burns really cool when done lightly. It gives it a striped effect almost like zebra wood.

Those are some great looking edges on the catalpa!

I gotta a couple hours in the shop tonight so I sanded the faces to 180 grit and got a coat of blo on these. This is half of this batch. I think next Batch I'll leave some plain and not burn the edges.
Freshly oiled and not soaked in yet.

These 13-15” blanks have been on the shelf 9+ yrs, got started on the first one today.

Neither do I, but it's intriguing. Especially with the grooves in the corner pieces.

It's a clamp holder.
Started out as a wolverine trap but then I read a research project that involved trapping wolverines to radio collar them. The wolverines destroyed any trap made with anything less than 6" diameter logs. This might be gerbil trap.
Hey, lookit'dat.... still a clamp holder but with a fancier base.
