 Built this desk for my God Daughter. She had asked for metal legs, but I think I got the same effect using maple and painting them black. As usual, all the wood was salvaged and re purposed. It's been delivered and she's happy with it. Thanks for looking.

 If I had a hammer, well 50plus of them for Kindygym was the request.Yes, my beautiful wife requested 50plus little wooden toy hammers for Construction Day at KindygymEach hammer is 1 3/8 (35mm) square with a 5 (127mm) handle.
The hammer head is recycled Radiata Pine while the handles used to the dowels on a old Child's Playpen we found on a roadside cleanup.
I nearly went crazy with all the repeat work.
Two coats of gloss clear pressure pack can (shake&rattle)So there's a total of 57 for Construction Day at the Gymnastics Program of the Local Community Club Boys&Girls Club.

Claro walnut lidded bowl (24)
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
 Playing with shape on this one, I turned a few beads. Or flutes. The grain on the bottom of the lid turned out to be one sort of spectacular, and then the grain on the lid went a totally different direction, so I'm not sure they fit well together, but my sweetie likes the look of them, so there it is. Friction finish of BLO and shellac applied on the lathe. I turned away the tenon on the bottom before I completely finished the inside, so the inside doesn't look as nice as the outside.This claro walnut comes from Cook Woods so wet that I feel like I should be wearing a raincoat when I turn it, but it doesn't seem to check much as it dries out. Fun! Also, I had forgotten to smooth the inside of the lid before I turned the handle, and then didn't have a chuck to hold the handle, so I needed to order a set of 35mm jaws for my Nova chuck before I could finish the lid. Oh darn!About 4 inches diameter for the base, the lid was turned from a 6 inch square blank so I could get the overhang I wanted on he lid. The base is about 3.5 inches tall, and the lid is another 2 inches total, including the handle.
