I couldn't resist turning something like a little bottle stopper top. I couldn't find my arbor, but not really intending to use this piece for anything beyond seeing how the wood looked inside, and how it turned, I just stuck it between centers and had at it. I don't like the design (I was just freeforming to see and feel how it would turn), but I do like the patterns in the wood.
I actually, physically made this with scissors and a glue stick. For that alone, I'm rather proud of it.
I tried to manually resaw this with my favorite Irwin 15" coarse-cut carpenter saw a few months ago, but gave up a bit past halfway, completely spent. My arm was too tired to finish, so I just cut in from the side to free the plank, which is still on a box in my living room, drying (i.e. forgotten :).
I was glad to have a chance to come back and clean up the piece, and free the small turning blanks hidden inside it. This log has been on the shop floor all this time,
A page out of ‘The Collected Works of Billy the Kid’ by Michael Ondaatje, which I worked over.
Influenced by Tom Phillips’ techniques of blocking out irrelevant text.
He re-creates stories within the text, by leaving out selected words.
It's probably not worth it, but I want to work in many different woods to learn about them, so here I am, cutting up these narrow branches, sealing the ends. Maybe they'll turn into something nice on the mini lathe.
