The idea popped into my head one day of making a wooden flashlight as a lathe project.

My friend Julie gave me a couple pen blanks from an old whiskey barrel.

To finish out 2024, I dredged up a very old Black Walnut board from behind a stack of lumber, cut off a chunk, and decided to turn...

In this video I demonstrate how I make a tripod bowl with a segmented ring.

I've probably said it here before, but I'll say it again: I like Poplar wood, at least some of it.

Once in a while, I remind myself that sometimes, a piece can be simple and even ordinary, and that can be enough.

My Aunt's birthday is on Halloween, so I thought I could make a bowl that would work on both levels.

I made this bowl several weeks ago, but it has been waiting its turn for a long time.

Full disclosure: I made a smaller version of this bowl first, and right before it was finished, I accidentally destroyed it.

I had a beautiful piece of Black Walnut left over from another project. The grain was too nice to toss...

A turned Maple burl urn (or some kind of vessel).

Several years ago I decided to design a toilet paper bar for our bathroom.

New custom lathe stand with drawers.

One of the issues of Woodcraft magazine had a tutorial for woodturning an inside-out cake stand.

I got a new wood lathe! It won't be replacing my old Shopsmith 10ER per se, but will instead be an addition.

I'm going to give away one of my secrets. I like to go to my local Habitat for Humanity Re-Store to look for random stuff...

My friend is a woodturner, and after taking a commission for quite a few turned pens, he soon discovered that he hates turning pens!

I was in the shop and had a hankering to turn something. I had a piece of Maple that was kindly gifted from a friend...

I've turned other items, like dowels, knobs, and even a pair of drum sticks, but not a bowl.
