Paduak Bowl with Ridge Detail

Just some images of one of my latest pieces... a Padual Bowl with a single ridge detail... this bowl was finished with friction polish and also wax...

Banksia Nut Coasters

Just a little post on how i finished by Banksia nut/pod coasters...

basically i left the bottom of the coasters their natural finish with a light sanding, this way they should have a little bit of grip on surfaces rather than slipping all over the table...

They seem thin enough so moisture already on the table shouldn't affect them long term... i have toyed with the idea of spraying the bottom like i did the top and sides with clear lacquer and scuffing the bottom half but that takes away from the fact that you can feel the natural banksia pod/nut and appreciate it's velvet fuzz so to speak....

Either way each one is definitely unique and no 2 could possible be the same :D

Anyway here's some pics of them finished... some of these pics are already in my latest pieces post from a while ago... also i have my whole collection on facebook...

Wooden Clocks

So after making a couple of bowls and a lot of pens i noticed i had some nice large blanks of Zebra Wood (Zebrano) and Bubinga that i had bought a while back, they were a bit shallow to make bowls out of so i thought I'd try some clocks.

I went to Paragon Tools in Wexford and got a couple of clock faces, they were about €12 or €13 euro each.

I started with the Zebra wood first and mounted it on my lathe as usual, i turned recess in the
