    Those are really great! I especially love the turquoise-inlaid bass guitar.

    I do mostly turning, not a great volume ( it's just a hobby ), for about 20 years.
    Here's some bottle stoppers. And random stuff

    Very nice! Turning is a newer thing for me. Mostly bottle openers & wine stoppers, but I’m branching out.

    We used to make billy clubs on the lathe in wood shop. We would tell the teacher they were table legs.

    So who was this Xiander guy, that he got bounced out on his ear so quickly? Had to be a prior perp, right?

    No clue, but funny how he launched a thread I could get into!

    Anyway, spent the day turning wine bottle stoppers!

    My partner for 30 years has a couple lathes and he dabbled in making pool cues.

    When I was in high school in the 70s, we made a peace pipe on a lathe. We made a lot of treaties back then.

    Boceephus, you might look into https://nilesbottlestoppers.com/ for some really high quality stoppers.
    Lots of choices in styles. A bit more cost, but, they will last a long time.
    I have found that the chrome plated ones will degrade over time.

    Wow! Those are cool. I’ll have to order a few!


    This cocobolo bottle opener sold to a friend.

    Did you machine the opener?
    It looks like a robust bit of metal.

    Built a Massironi shelf this weekend. It’s pretty simple. Only takes a jig saw & sander.

    Nice looking shelves.
    I got to do some turning the other day. It was green wood, so it is hiding in a paper bag for a few days to slowly dry to prevent cracking.
    I will post a pic when I get a chance.

    Cool! Can’t wait to see it!

    Just got a bunch of cherry logs. I’ll mill them down & stick them in the attic to dry. I just wax the end grains.
