Bird House
I am sitting here in the passenger seat with nothing better to do while DW takes a turn at the wheel.
Below is a birdhouse turned from Osage Orange and maple.
I have tried my hand at full sized houses too. I have 2 that are hanging in my shop waiting for a few more coats of finish. Both the miniature version pictured and the full sized ones were completed following the methods outlined in Steve Promo's demos

Recycle
Below are 2 pictures of a bird feeder that I made by recycling a Christmas tree.
The feeder is made from the trunk of a tree from a few years ago.
It is turned to shape and then 1 1/4 " holes are drilled to a depth of about 3/4" and the dowels are added for a perch.
The holes are packed with nutty peanut butter. The birds love it during the colder weather.
They can be turned from dry stock or green.

Christmas Party
Though the attendance level was on the lighter side, those in attendance had a good time and a good dinner.
As is our custom each member turned a Christmas ornament and wrapped it up and added end it to the gift table at the party. Each of the turners partner then went up to the table and picked out a present.

Still Turning
I haven't posted in awhile, but I have been turning some. Below is a platter from 5 pieces of cherry. It's 14 1/2 " in diameter and the Xmas trees are less than 3 1/2" also in cherry.
