Onrust Turnings

I don't post much, so just to prove I really can turn wood, I thought I'd show a few things I did recently for the Onrust. That's a ship I'm helping build locally. www.theonrust.com I take scraps and make things they can sell for fundraising. The group in going to be in NYC for several days at the big boat show at the Javits Center. I coudn't go and help there so I made a bunch of tops and some ornaments for the show. All made from white oak and finished with Bush Oil. Hopefully they will sell to raise money for the project. I think there are 56 tops.

I also made a couple of larger Rosand style ornaments for the Pres. and VP of the nonprofit org. running the project. These are made from the 2 woods used in the ship-white oak and black locust. I put some gloss tung oil varnish on the globes to pretty them up a little. (And don't pay any attetion to the square thing on the right, that's my version of a "flatboard" ornament for our woodworking club party. Big rivalry between turners and flat boarders )

Good stuff, Don. I'd like to see the faces of the flatlanders in your club when you unveil the square ornament.

Another set of beauties Don. Yep you can still turn and rather well.

Thanks Guys

Vaughn,

They got quite a kick out of it-especially from a TURNER !

Great turnings.

Those are great turnigns Don, and the Onrust is one of those projects I'd love to participate, it is a pity I'm so far away...
