My first attempt at a Bangle

[gt64155]

Greetings,

After seeing the picture that Bangleguy posted on the bangle that he turned, I knew that I just had to try one. After a false start, (my wife has larger hands than I thought) I ordered the correct size metal core and wood blank to go with it. These are bit bit different than turning a pen, but not real hard to do. I know the picture is really poor, but I borrowed a camera from a coworker and just set the thing on my desk. So far, I'm real happy with the results.

I would be happy with the results too, nice job.
I missed the whole metal core thread, I've never seen one like that.

Not bad for a first try at a bangle! Looking real great. This should make the wifey smile.

Looks great! My wife seen the original post and I too have one to try. I hope mine turns out as well as yours.

John...I will be very interested in how you are going to get feathers on that Darrell

Bill, that really looks nice! What wood did you end up using on this one? Most importantly, does the wife like it?
