Celebrating one year as a LJ - An Eggplate?

I always like your turnings Stewart. This is no exception. Congrats on one year!

Very inventive, and quite beautiful as well as useful.

I must admit, with the brown egg that we don’t see much around here, and were the spoon not thrre as a clue, I might have been at a loss as to exactly what this was supposed to be. :-)

What a great idea and well done too.

-- Bruce from Central New York

That is a wonderful idea, Yorkie. And congratulations on a successful first year. I am sure that this upcoming year will be even more interesting.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Really Neat!

Which did you turn first- the egg holder or the plate?

Happy one’th Stewie!
Your work is rather eclectic this time.
Well done BTW but really, ducks eggs on birch?
We would never stand for it here, must be cedar…? or was that fish?

Thanks, fellow jocks, for your kind comments and good wishes. I think you all, too, for the friendship, support, help, wonderful humour, and amazing feedback over the past twelve months. I’m truly humbled.

Lew - Which did you turn first- the egg holder or the plate? I made this a couple of years ago and your question set me thinking as to how I did actually do it. I turned the outer (plate) first, but whatever the sequence would have left an area untouched by the gouge, so I can vaguely remember some hand finishing and power sanding.

Bob#2 – It’s a hen’s egg actually but it does look like a big one I’ll agree.

Douglas ” One doesn’t see many egg cups in the US these days” Don’t you ‘do’ boiled eggs with soldiers then?

Dan - Thanks for my card! I did the black lines with the ‘cheese cutter’ friction wire trick.

That’s a great project! For a minute, I thought I was looking at a wooden egg.
