I've been spending late nights at the lathe once my son goes to bed trying to build up inventory for my first craft fair. Here area few I've been working on lately.

I have a gold and purple slimline, a Pink Abalone blank that I made and cast in clear Alumilite set on a Sierra Grip kit, and a Siberian Tiger Acrylic on a Vertex Click.

Had a special request for a lateral thin blue line in walnut and everything was going great until a tool catch and subsequent blowout of the upper blank. I used superglue instead of epoxy to put the blank together and I guess I had some weak spots so already working on setting up another blank and will use two-part epoxy instead of superglue!
