Egg Prep

[Charlie_W]

While I was at the lathe prepping the cross grain pen blanks, I turned some Ambrosia Maple cut offs into eggs. Just need to sand before parting the nubs down close.

What are you doing with all of those eggs you turn? lol... you have a bunch of them by now!!
(good to see you at the CAW picnic... pictures are coming...)

You can always use them in your nest boxes to induce your hens to lay more eatable type eggs... Grandmother always kept ceramic or glass eggs in her nest boxes.

Right now, they are in boxes and bowls. I should probably try to sell some when our club does a fair event.
.......and I just turned another half dozen eggs....I was just using up scrap cutoffs.
I like turning eggs and spheres and did a class at Woodcraft a couple months ago on this very topic.

You do great work Charlie, even when you're just chewing up scraps! lol I'll be on the lookout for your next class!

Great work as usual, Charlie!
