About Me

My Photo
In the boondocks, South Carolina, United States
After I retired I got into long distance cycling. I ridden my bike in or across a number of states. I injured my leg and that ended that. Hopefully I will be able to continue that again someday. Well I can't ride a bike as well as I used to but I do turn wood and do photography which is also a great passion of mine. This what my blog is going to be about among other things

This is wooden turn box made from Cypress wood. I stain with blue gel stain. This is the first piece that I have made that I did not leave in it natural color. Cypress is not all that pretty of wood in it natural state. It looks really good to me when it is stained.


This is my last wood turning that I have made. Actually I finished it about a month ago but just now getting around to posting it on my blog.

I saw a piece that was made very much like this and like it so well that I had to make one similar to it for myself.

I not really into doing much wood turning now. I am not inspired to do anything now. The lid can come off this piece as well to allow things to be stored inside of it. However I really did not make this to be functionally, just decorated.
