Back again

I know!  I keep promising to be more regular with my postings, but here we go again.  

As well as wood turning, I am starting to dabble in carving with a bit of pyrography thrown in.

 
A carved and burnt house sign for some friends of mine.  The wood is Lime  (Tilia Spp)  The sign is circa 10inches by 8 inches.  It's finished in Liberon finishing oil.


This is a Beech bowl  (Fagus Sylvatica) with a self drawn pyrographed pattern.  Just over 4 Inches diameter


This is the same pattern redrawn and burnt onto a Sycamore bowl  (Acer Pseudoplatanus) 7 Inches Dia.


This is a copy of a Japanese Tea Caddy as used in the Tea Ceremony.  It is called a 'Natsume'
This one is turned from Sapele  (Entandrophragma cylindricum).  It is 2.5 inches diameter by 3 inches high.
