Wooturning is about having fun the small pieces provide more fun. So enjoy!

Hows that even possible.

Oh yeah these are really small. I’m sure you can set these up for sale on Etsy and make happy people among the doll-house builders or collectors.

scraps??? I don’t think so very awesome, and very intricate

Great work, similar to how I use scrap wood in my shop for small bowls that are hand carved!

I think you have been having a bit of fun here, some great little sets in among this lot.
Well done :)

That’s great turning. You should photograph with a ruler to show us the scale.

Nice looking minitures

Nice use of scraps. Would you mind telling us what you use to burn the lips of the cups?

-- Backer boards, stop blocks, build oversized, and never buy a hand plane--

mtkate – Thre is a US penny laying with the group. rance – I use a paper towel to apply the finish and those areas on the lips/edges I just hold the paper towel firmly until it starts to smoke. peteg – Yupper! I really was having have with these and have added a few more since yesterday’s posting. I have also made them even smaller just to see if I could do it. I use a 3/32” drill bit that is ground flat on two sides and mounted in a broom stick handle for most of the smaller work.

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings

nice work….no such thing as scrap wood is there….
