Project Information
These are some more desert turnings. The bowl is made from 2 pieces of myrtle wood and it had a spigot glued on to turn it so I did not lose any thickness of the good wood. It is 7" x 2 1/2" high.
The napkin rings are for some friends back home that had me over for Christmas Eve dinner. Mary Lou had an assortment of napkin rings- some borrowed to have enough for 12 of us. I made 14 blanks to get a dozen and did not lose any in the process so she will get 14 of them. They are 1 1/2" ID and 1" thick and made from mesquite branches from the desert out here. I added 2 process shots of the mesquite expanding mandrel I made to hold the rings to turn them to shape and sand.
All these pieces are finished with Danish Oil and will get a 3 stage buff when I get back home to my shop in Michigan.
Cheers, Jim
