NSWoodspinner,
Great bunch of turnings! The potpourri boxes are very inspiring. Where did you find the inserts or lids? I’ve never seen any like yours before, very nice! Keep on keeping on!

Sincerely,

Very nice turnings.

Very nice turnings. Love the potpourri boxes. Have been watching GoodWill for a couple of these but only found one with a broken lid so far. Will probably have to order them.

Woodbutcher, I have a WoodTurners Catalog and there are some in it. Try www.woodturnerscatalog.com

Great work. Keep it up.

For Woodbutcher and Scrappy,

You can get the potpourri boxe lids at Lee Valley
(http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=2&p=32877&cat=1,250,43243). There’s only the three patterns, however (hummingbird, butterfly, floral)

Pen, upper left corner, what kind of wood please. Very, very nice color with grain…..plus “cigar” style pens are my favorite by far.

I’m sorry Mike, but the best I can dredge out of my memory is that the pen in question is jatoba or rosewood. These pens were made for a friend to give away this past spring as graduation gifts, and the pen (and its box with the identifying label) could be anywhere in Atlantic Canada. (Memo to self: get organized)

Drat! I can’t get the “edit” feature to work right.

Mike, I did some web-crawling. The pen you asked about was turned in either bubinga or Brazilian rosewood. I’ve turned both, and they are incredible woods for pen – great color and easy to turn. The Bubinga blank would have been part of a mixed bag I got at a Woodcraft store in Norfolk, VA; the rosewood I would have obtained from a local exotic hardwood dealer

Just for info, www.woodturnerscatalog.com Has 8 designs and cost less.

They also have LOTS of other “parts” for turnings. Most I have never seen anywhere else.

Just thought I would let you know.
