Segmented Bowl
This is a segmented bowl that I turned. It has 3 different types of wood. It has Purple Heart, Zebra wood, and Brazilian Cherry.
Corn cob pen
This pen is not made of wood. I still used my wood lathe to make it; however, it is made from a corn cob. Yes, an actual corn cob. It is completed by getting a corn cob (with the corn removed) and stabilizing/hardening the cob. Then it is drilled, turned, and polished the same way wooden pens are done.

I made this out of a piece of walnut. I then used an Early American stain to bring out the color and finished it with high friction polish. This was a gift for my sister.

I made this rattle for my daughter. It is made out of Maple, and I put three captive rings on it.
Bocote Navigator
This is a beautiful exotic wood called Bocote. I really like the grain pattern of this style of wood.

Another Spalted Tamarind
This one is a better example than the above one. It shows the light nature of the wood, with the spalt (intentional rot) going through it.

Bowl
I made this bowl out of Jobillo, which is an exotic wood from Central America.

I made this bowl, and it had a lot of spalt, which I like. I am not sure what type of wood it is. The piece was found on the side of the road. I thought it was maple, but while working with it, it didn't turn like maple. Either way, it is a nice bowl. It is a larger bowl, about 12 inch diameter.
