Thread: Makin' Shavings / Turner's Projects.

I have a batch of croap coming in not too long. Thing is, my croaps, being what's called "glycerine soap" should be stored in a closed container.

Now, I leave in a region famous for its walnuts ("noix de Grenoble"), which mean we have walnut orchards everywhere. Which means that, if you ask nicely, you can have prunings, or the occasional log. Well, for now I have a few big branches.

I have been working with with boxwood and have prepared some yew cuts, and these are heavy woods.
Therefore, while inspecting my branches, I found them very light, dark and full of wormholes, and feared the worst.
But then again, you never know unless you try (ash is quite light but a pleasure to turn), and, hey, it's free, what is there to lose ?

It was my first time turning walnut, my first time turning a box.
Oh, and I wanted to mainly use the skew, because I failed miserably last time I used it.

Meh, good enough.
