I started turning this piece of ash several times while my tool rest was broken. I just couldn’t seam to wait a few days for the replacement parts. The parts are in and I’m back turning. This ash has several worm holes in it. I like the contrast of heartwood and sapwood. I tried a little two step on the foot. It measures 3” tall by 8.5” wide. It has a coat of Seal-A-Cell and then a couple coats of wipe-on poly.

Another great piece Joe! The color contrast adds a lot of character. Nice style too! I was kind of wondering do you plan your style, shape, size ahead of time…or do you just start see what turns out (pun intended)?

Martin, I usually look at the blank for clues; grain pattern, size, voids, color… I then form a plan in my head and start turning. The key is to go with the flow and allow the piece to take it’s own form. Too much forcing a design usually doesn’t turn out very well for me. I try to utilize a design that highlights the woods greatest features.
