Some of the stuff I've been playing with....

The latest piece, Southern Red Oak. Recovered from a blowdown not too long ago. Sorry for the blurry photo...the grapple didn't stop moving and an iPhone is a little incapable of keeping up.

Of course, it was plenty big! Had to process it 'down' to manageable sized pieces to get out back of the house.

After all the 'busy', I was able to get a piece on the lathe yesterday...and I came up with a few of these.

Don't laugh to hard, I'll stick a $0.14 candle in it and sell it for $12.50!

Of course, I'm still working on a bunch of Eastern Red Cedar. And I have a paying job waiting on the weather for about 1200bFt of Shortleaf Pine....the fella is just wanting rough sawn lumber to make a barn(mostly siding). Not really excited about 'playing' with pine...I don't much care for sap. But at least I will get rid of some PinSol!!

Nice looking work.

Nothing to laugh at there, very nice looking work. I think your priced to low, $15.00 easy. People with any sense recognize the time and effort you've put into it just in the turning.

You know, I thought about that....but with the income level we have here in Central Arkansas it might be 'pushing it'. I'd rather sell 250 of them at $12.50(as fast as I can make them) then only sell 100 at $15.00
I have tons of this timber, and the turning part takes maybe 20mins with the finishing!
