Havn't posted for awhile. Crazy house reno took 6 months but now I have my shop back.

Anyway turned a few Mini Egg Kaleidoscopes for the grand kids. Here is one in Cherry Burl with jade dust filling a void. Finish is my own natural finish of Walnut Oil and Beeswax.

Thanks for looking
Mike

I like the little eggoscopes... I used to make them all the time and sold them like crazy, but all those little pieces are getting harder and harder for me to see, so I've stopped for now... I think I have a couple of kits in the shop to do one day.... my real ambition is to make some full sized kaleidoscopes... haven't yet, but they're on my list.
 
Me too. I have a bunch of those eggs made and ready for the hardware when I can get around to ordering some.I never have grown out of these I can sit for hours looking in them and seeing all the different colors and designs. I want to make a full size one too and even thought of looking in thrift shops for t he toy ones and taking the inside out and put them in a wooden one. THat was just a thought as those toy ones are make out of cardboard. I like making these. Great job on yours.. Fay

Click to expand...

I have a set of front faced mirrors to make a full sized one.. just have to figure out a couple of things... how to turn the object chamber and what to make a good object chamber from... I'll get to it soon.

Haven't thought about taking a toy one apart... I spend a lot of time in thrift stores looking at their wine glasses to repurpose with wood stems... now I have to look for kaleidoscopes too.
