    New turnings

    Having fun with my 'new' (slightly used) Jet Mini Lathe 1014.

    Cherry bowls started out as 1 1/2" X 5 1/2" blanks. Beading tool used on one. Finished with food safe walnut oil and wax.

    Small lidded vessel is Osage Orange using the Beall Tool Co 'Treen' method.

    Bottle stoppers are various woods. Black palm, osage orange, padauk, pao ferrao, cherry, tulipwood.

    Couldn't find a decent display stand, so I made my own.

    Nice job all the way around, Ted. Good to see your new/used Jet is getting some playtime. Great idea on the stopper stand, too.
