Any woodworkers?

Calling it done.

 

Cherry bowl this afternoon.

 

Nice, makes me miss my lathe...

 

Man I love lathe work. I am gonna get me a powermatic one day.

 

Can anyone tell me what type of wood this is?

 

Looks like Red oak

 

It looks like a oak.

 

White/red oak...kinda hard to tell the difference without looking at the two side by side

 

Hawkbill ice cream scoop, home made laminate turning blank, cherry, purple heart, and reclaimed 1950's walnut. Replacement for my beautiful wife's ice cream scoop that a family friend had to have.

 

White oak. All the red oak I have used has a pink/red hue to it. It’s some hard stuff.

 

Ive had some mixed reviews from my egg board idea...a family member on my wifes side said " i appreciate his hustle but i wouldnt buy it".....wtf does that mean?..I just found it to be snarky... on another forum guy says " why o why did i put my makers mark on the front?? Oh btw ill be copying it"... like i ruined the piece.lol

 

Why wouldn’t you put your brand on it. You don’t see Rolex or BMW try to hide the emblem.

 

thats kinda what i was thinking...im really not upset about it cuz its not really a big deal but seems like I stepped on some peoples feelings...somehow...

 

Oh well..they will just have to get over it.

 

Yup, exactly...she posted it on her facebook so thats why the one person said that...

I know my wife likes the one i made, shes allergic to eggs so im the only one to really benefit from using the egg holder. My wife is a bit clumsy cooking breakfast and I just hate dropping eggs on the floor...so its good for us

 

I have made a few people upset with me too. The making part of what I do is for me. I may gift, give, sell, burn, or otherwise destroy anything I make. If someone wants me to make something for them, it will be made the way I want to make it. I have a neighbor who just showed up with old crappy water stained warped pine and a drawing of what she wanted. I told her I would be glad to make the boot stand she wanted, but it would be done with good hardwood, and the way I wanted to make it, she didn't want it anymore. I tried to explain that this is my hobby, I do it for me. If I do it for someone else it is because I want to, not because they want me to. I am and have always been a bit of a jerk about my time.

 

Yep to all, but bold is the jist of it.

 

That looks most like Butternut sometimes called White Walnut

 

One of my fav builds in the last few years...clear vert grain (haven’t been able to find such nice grain since) Doug Fir Carriage Doors. (Main tools for this build 8” grizz jointer/15” grizz planer / Domino XL /).
