A Few New Turnings

[Charlie_W]

Here are a few new turnings. A friend supplied the wood. He said it was Osage Orange and some Elm. I have not turned either wood. Both turned fine with no problems.
Elm: 6" Bowl, Cross Grain Bottle Stopper
Osage Orange: Bell Handle, 6" Muddler, 4" Natural Edge Bowl

Beautiful artistry Charlie. I'm partial to the two bowls. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks guys! Not sure about the "Osage Orange". Thinking it is something else. I ran it by another turner and he felt the same.
Any clue as too what it may be?
The Elm is confirmed.

I was wondering about that. I have only turned one Osage Orange bowl and it looks very different from yours.

Very nice turnings BTW!

that is not Osage.

that is not Osage.

Yup, that was my thinking too.

To me, it looks more like walnut. Pretty sure it's not osage orange.

Thanks Rick, it is different from Walnut in how it turns, sands and smell even though it looks similar.

I have an answer to the mystery wood.....Chestnut!

Love the stopper. The simple shape let's the beautiful grain really show itself off.

Thanks! Many times less is more in design.
