Did you happen to make something out of the walnut wood scraps that were donated by West Coast Woodslabs (the ones on the back shelf or in the hardwood scraps box)?
If you did, please post your project here! We want to do a nice shout-out to them on our blog. If you have done my woodturning class ( Wood Turning Class - Sign up list ) then your project was made from these scraps! Please respond here with a photo of your project.
Here’s the mallet that @xquared and I made using Mike’s spindle turning techniques. Class was great and my first intro to wood turning. I’d also never worked with walnut before. Thanks Mike and West Coast Slabs!
Thursday’s woodturning class with Mike and Steve was awesome. It was much more thorough than I expected and we did get into many details about the techniques, the gear, and also completely unrelated topics such as the speed of electrons in circuit boards.
We made simple boxes from the walnut scraps, here’s my blurry result!
I grabbed some of the scraps and am using them to replace the handles on 2 kitchen knives that have broken plastic handles and were held together with electricians tape. My mum really like the knives even though they are fairly cheap ones. Not finished yet, but close
The start, remove broken handles and use for a template:
