A bit of fun today making this exquisite threaded 'box' (more of a tube really)
The wood is Thuya Burl, from the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, which for an exotic is actually very delicate and had to be handled gently. I gave it the love it deserved and am very pleased with the outcome....

It's been a long time since I posted anything, I've still been making things and actually made my first ever sale on Etsy which was wonderful.
This is a present I made for my Mother-In-Law for Xmas, the wood is Snakewood and it's the first thing from pure Snakewood I've managed to make without it splitting or cracking so I was absolutely chuffed.

A custom project for a friend, he has a bar at home and wanted a centrepiece for it to mix drinks on etc
It's Olive wood (roots) encased in a Deep Purple epoxy, not my usual style as no lathe work involved whatsoever, just a lot of dust from grinding down and sanding, but it came out beautifully and looks great in its new home.

The piece that nearly killed me.

Slightly dramatic but this did in fact fly off the lathe, smash my hand and then bounce into my face, thankfully I had my face shield on or my good looks would be ruined forever.....
It was the closest call I've had to a serious injury and I must admit I was very shaken up but did the only thing you should in these circumstances, dust yourself off and crack on.

A 10" grinder for the substance of your choice - the burr is ceramic so safe for salt. The wood is red mallee burl and the two compliment each other wonderfully.

I've now added this to Etsy:

The latest design for a Pepper (Or Salt) Mill.
Instead of doing a separate lid this is all from the same resin/wood combo ensuring colour continuity and a smooth joint. Height 30cm.

I'll be selling this one, and others I make, on Etsy now. The cost will depend on the wood involved, this for example has Red Mallee Burl which is a premium quality so this will be €50 plus postage, (free shipping in Bulgaria)

Aside from allowing me to unleash my creative side working with resin has certainly reconnected me to some basic maths.

The volume calculations for these for example, simple to do and saves a lot of waste if you get them right.

Poured all these this afternoon and not a single drop was wasted.....those years of studying are finally paying off....
