First turned bowl

I got a lathe a while back, and a new chuck for it last week. I also had an 8/4×8 x 8 chunk of ash that had a knot on one end so I didn't want to use it for anything else. In between cutting and gluing up bookcases, I played with the lathe a bit and came up with this bowl.It's rough, and there are a couple catches as I was teaching myself to use a skew, but I'm pretty proud of it for a first effort.Finished with a couple coats of shellac, and that's it.

Christmas Village - Knock Down Tiered Table

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


A friend wanted a three tier 52 x52 corner display table for his wife's Christmas village. It had to be knock down so I came up with this. Poplar frame (they'll paint it) and 1/2 Baltic Birch Plywood.
Holes for the electric cables. And they will drape it in a white snow like cloth.
It folds flat and when the tops hook into the dowels in the frame it's pretty rigid but still lightweight.
