a lathe update and other things


here we see 7 of the 8 bowls i started last week. unfortunately, a broken tool rest has lead to a pause in production. but i got my brother kevin, a machinist (among many other things), making a new and improved version.

now that my art obligations have eased up, i have started in on a number of new craft projects, with the lathe leading the march. a new stack of sycamore logs collected from behind the benicia state capitol and some interesting new design concepts should keep me busy for a while. look for etsy announcements soon including things like drink muddlers, matched bowl sets and maybe even an end of summer sale...

as for the blog- look out for new posts on my rad new chuck, that tool rest i mentioned above, how to make beeswax bowl finish and even a post on how to fix and operate a loom (once i figure out how to fix and operate a loom).
