Back to Basics

[Chas Jones]

Having put off the spinny stuff for over 12months in deference to other priorities managed a couple of hours this afternoon to make a start on clearing some of the accumulated 'too good to burn' oddments.

A bit of Home cured Beech from a hedge removed a few years ago. 175mm Dia.


Another Cake Slice found among the debris finally found a bit of Brazilian Mahogany to keep it company.

You haven't lost your touch,

You haven't lost your touch,

Must admit I did wonder, fortunately the tools and I seem to still have an understanding.
There is something satisfying about watching the shavings piling up at a high rate when tackling something basic, think I will stick with the simple forms theme for a while and just enjoy some relaxation as and when shop time comes available.

Nicely done.

A bit of home dried Cherry, 157mm dia.




Artistic choice of shape determined by natures splitting sense of humour.

Another day and another mountain of shavings to clear up.

Cherry 125mm high.


Sycamore 170mm dia.

I really like the stacked rings on the little vase/cup. That's a really eye catching design.
