Silky Oak and Red Mallee pens
« on: June 30, 2013, 01:53:52 PM »
Tired of just cutting chunks of wood for everyone else to have fun with!  Time to use some of those pieces I've obtained from swaps and such...  So I went out in the garage(shop) and spun up a few.  At least it isn't 100*F out there today, it'll probably rain considering I washed and waxed the car!




Only took a couple photo's, as I really would like to take a nap here in a few.

First up:
Some Silky Oak on a Sierra





Next up:
A piece of Red Mallee Burl on a Sierra









Had a few issues with both pieces of timber.  The Silky Oak didn't like my skew, and I had to do quite a bit of sanding.  And the Red Mallee certainly didn't like anything I had planned, it cracked a several places.  So after doing some quick 'fixes', I finished these up....whew!
