Anyone into Wood Turning And / or Carving etc.. ?

[bigfellascott]

Love it, well done mate and I love big pics, way better than tiny little pissy ones any day. I've been cutting a few bits of wood from my wood heap for some scales for knives when I get around to making some.

I couldn't tell you what it is other than a lump of wood I cut off a tree a few weeks back, hopefully I can make some handles out of it.

Gee mate that looks real nice, will look great on the knives.. Or on your lathe for that matter !

So where is this wood heap you speak of and do you shoot at Dingo's roaming around it ?

Yeah I figured it might be work a closer look when I saw it cut up so kept it aside and ran it through the table saw and a quick sand with the mouse sander and bit of oil afterwards and there you have it. Worth hanging onto until I get around to knocking a few knives up one day.

The wood heaps just my good ol pile of firewood I cut up and no dingo's hanging around that I hope (something seriously wrong if they are!)

P.S. I still haven't gotten around to setting that lathe up yet, one day when I pull the finger out I guess.

The black bands are formed in the grooves by way of friction while spinning at 2150 rpm..
