Turned 3 more stoppers today.
All in Elm Burr, I am really enjoying the fun in turning whatever form the fancy takes when you have one on the chuck.
I learned a little something today from my wife as well.[B)]
I was having trouble getting the wood off the stopper chuck after it was turned and finished, and whilst I covered the threads with BLO, and used all my strength, the shine of the stopper makes it hard to get a grip. Well my wife came along and saw the trouble I was having so handed me a pair of Marigold Gloves for doing the washing up. Problem solved!![:0] [xx(]
