This one has taken a long time due to bad weather, covid, grandkids etc :)
A small Ebony box with Mother of Pearl inserted as a cross, Satin finish then buffed . 10cm x 7.5cm 4 feet. It turns well with a light brown straight off the gouge. But turns dark rapidly, hence the underside lid colour

Mist admit I do love using the ebonys. Lovely woods and you get such an amazing finish off them. One day I will have a go at the sort of thing you make Hughie though not sure i have the patience to get the finish you do.

I have for a long time admired your work and have seen it on other websites. the clean crisp carving of flutes is amazing. However after all that I personally not keen on the finial but then it would be a boring world if we all liked the same things ;D

Very nice work How do you do the flutes?? Do you have a Legacy Ornamental lathe /mill ? I have two and can do the flutes etc Takes a bit of setting up though Good fun trying different patterns etc.

No they are all hand done. I do have a different indexing system that allows me 10-12 different indexing patterns

Yeah its very much a patience thing. But the out come is rewarding

Hughie, as ever you come out of the left field and post another completely different but no less stunning piece of work.
