More winter landscape shots from today.
At least we have a few days of winter wonderland. Sadly it will probably not stay white until next weekend.
You want to know the difference between polished and waxed up wood and “just” sanded?
I made this pair for a friend and you see the difference between sanded to K400 (left) and polished and waxed (right).
The wood is spalted maple (body) and smoked oak (top).

This is one of the sad sides of woodturning. Looking through my inventory for some potential pepper mill blanks, I found a piece of apple and a piece of plum.
But they are both full of cracks, spalted wood and brittle areas. Not really mill material. I’ll see what I can still make of them.

Since the bird thing is getting weirder by the hour, I’ll start posting woodworking pics here.

Last week I produced a couple of peppermills. Hornbeam and walnut. Two of them already have a new owner.

Two more are about to be finished for a friend.

And there’s that beautiful mill from an 11 year old juniper on the lathe right now. The smell in the workshop is amazing. #WoodWorking #woodturning #peppermill
