Over the past couple of years I have spent the majority of my time away from home and therefore the lathe. When I am lucky enough to have time to make it home, I often relax by heading out to the shop and making chips fly. I rarely had time or the will to take pictures of my pieces. But during Thanksgiving break I realized that I had a decent number of pieces that I had never photographed. I decided to take a few hours and get my photography setup together and take pictures of all of my pieces. I did so but had no extra time to go through the pictures and make them better. Come winter break, I have time! I've now gone through them and tidied some up, and now would like to share them with you! So here's the deal: I'm posting just about one picture per piece because otherwise we'd be dealing with over 100 pictures. I know this doesnt give the best look at the piece, but that's the way it is. Also, when I took pictures I didnt really keep them in any discernible order... and the same goes for this post. So enjoy! (There are about 40 so I understand if you don't make it all the way through!) I look forward to hearing which is your favorite and any other comments/questions you might have! Almost all of the finishes are mineral oil, shellac, then buffed with carnuaba wax.
PS: Happy New Year! Where did the year go?
