What turned out of lathe practice

[keithlong]

I was in the shop yesterday and i decided to play with my new lathe and practice with a couple of chisels. I turned out a black walnut honey dipper and a garden dibble. The dibble is out of a scrap piece of basswood. Thanks, Keith

Isn't it fun to make useful items.?? I've made a few dibbles and I make them & then cut a small channel at 1 inch 2 inch etc...that way I know how deep I'm making the hole for the plant or seed or whatever...a good "custom touch" thanks for sharing

Thanks for the kind words, and yes it is fun to make useful things. Thanks for the tip about the lines for depth, next time i do one i will add them.
