Good morning everyone, how cool to see all the bday wishes thanks so much! Gives me a really big grin to read them all, means alot! Had a quiet bday evening, got a really expensive sixer for my part of the country, had a small dinner and went to bed bout 7:30. My boys wanted to wait and do something with me the next day since I was getting them for a while. My girl and I had done ribs earlier in the week. I woke up the next morning, something just didnt feel right, I didnt think much about it just kept on keeping on bout 6am my sis texts me saying my grandmother in Scotland had passed, that was it. She had a great long life, she played bridge every morning her friend went by to pick her up, she didnt answer the door, she went in and found her in the bed. She went in her sleep as I would want for myself. Has been a few years since I saw her last. I remember alot about her, the pea soup she would make and oh the rice and raisins and when I was over there last saying how I thought it was better in America cause we have big roads, big cars, big trucks, she said "big isnt always better" lol she was a great woman and will be missed. My mom is on her way and should be there today for the funeral. Gotta take my oldest to work in a little while, I gotta get my butt out to the shop get some turning in before we leave. My girl and her son are coming up later for the afternoon/evening, will be a great day had!
As you all have seen above the Amboyna I am turning, the one in the lathe is a surprise for his wife. He wanted me to add turquoise. I have to make the stem/WPA to match but thats no sweat.
I did the inlay and was trying to line it out to add this or that looking here and there and in the end I just couldnt do anything else to it but add a few burn bands. The wood itself is so freaking beautiful, the inlay adds the POP, figured enough said. Sleek & subtle is sexy!
This piece below has a little live edge burling at the top rim. It had a bit more at the top but that got bored out and away. Still though what a piece
I cant wait to turn the other pieces I have in this species!
