Steve's turning

[seventhdevil]

hi all, as i just recently got it in to my head just how to resize photo's so that i can add them to a post i thought (seeing as i've not done so already) i'd add a few of my work i've previously done and of some of the beautiful bits of timber i've currently got to turn.

just need to resize some snaps.

i've got loads of walnut so here are a few of those.

[seventhdevil]

very rippled some of this.

the first bowl came from the middle of this one.

[seventhdevil]

a nest with a 14" mother bowl

Nice wood, like the nest

[seventhdevil]

a very young holm oak.

[seventhdevil]

should have added to my first post that i'd like to know what people think of the bowls and the finish alike.

will be adding more pics in the coming days.

[seventhdevil]

here's a few more,

pau santo,
cocobolo,
imbuya,
burr wych elm

[seventhdevil]

one african blackwood goblet a huge bit of osage orange 14", 9" bubinga and a beautiful bit of brown oak.

[seventhdevil]

some more walnut.

[seventhdevil]

i'd never turned eggs before this lot but i can see why people like turning them, little wood needed and you can still show the majesty of the wood.

left to right they are,
sycamore, walnut, catalpa, field maple hornbeam and some of that genuine lignum.

[seventhdevil]

padauk, canadian hard maple, burr elm and spalted hornbeam with a loose ring.

[seventhdevil]

here are a couple of really nice bowl i made the first being in smokebush which is fabulously coloured and an 8" cocobolo.

[seventhdevil]

a very rustic barrel pot from a reclaimed inglenook beam (rock hard) and a staff made for a woodturners challenge that was 5' tall and made from 6 different woods. bottom to top they are genuine lignum, pau amarello, bocote, imbuya, cocobolo with a sheoak knob.

there is also a cedar of lebanon vase and one on anjan too.

pear, plum and strawberry tree
