Lathe Turning

Some of you commented on my posting a month or so aga about the piece of cottonwood that my husband was turning on his lathe. Here is the finished piece. Some really nice designs in the piece of wood from an almost dead cottonwood tree. He has more of the tree to turn later on.

Here is a bottle and a candlestick with electric candle that he turned from a piece of wood he bought.

 Christmas decorations he made from left over scrap pine wood. There are tiny holes with a piece of string for hanging on the tree.

Here are two snowmen (maybe the taller is a snowwomen) that hubby made for gifts.

Turned Wood

Many many years ago Lee got a wood turning lathe and made lots of nice things for me like the candle stick in the first photo. This year for Christmas he wanted to get a new lathe so I said yes, and for him to pick one out so he would get want he wanted. He has been using it alot. He made me 2 candlesticks, and 2 wooden bowls. He made candlesticks for his family for Christmas and for our friends, and made the bowl in the second photo for our friends birthday. I am hoping he can made a some things for next Christmas and for other birthday presents. He has made a bell, and some other Christmas tree decorations but I couldn't get the photos to come out decent.
