Turning them both at the same time I've found makes a huge difference.I have a few friends who wear these. Nice job! They look great. What is your secret for making them perfectly round and the same size?
Hi! Great turning! I'm curious what you use as a finish? Or are they left natural?
Especially on this Memorial day, I'm glad a lot of us (most), but I know there are some out there who do not enjoy the freedoms we've been afforded by lives lost in wars' past, that you have the freedom, willingness and ability to do what makes you happy, both in expression and hobby.
Continue to do great turnings; being different is what makes us all similar and we are better for those differences. Without similarity, difference wouldn't be important.

Neat stuff Darrin, Make sure you check out other woods toxicity for allergic reactions.

Ebony is a perfect wood for this application.Nice job. I "wood" not do it but ....nice job. Looks better than open/void. It's definitely creative. However if I did proceed I'd use the nicest piece of ebony or exotic burl I could find.
It's honestly really a simple question to answer George.OK, OK so, I'm an old fart with a strong belief in people's freedom to do/be what they so desire so, no issues there, however, and with all due respect, I hope that someone helps me to understand the reason for things like these, I mean, I would assume there has to be a reason or there should mean something right...? my ignorance is, what does it mean...???
Why do I ask this question here, you probably won't believe how many folks have contacted me and purchased woods that are suitable to turn these type "things" I even turned some for someone based on measurements provided by him so, I'm not new to this issue but every single time I asked these questions, why only men seem to want these things and what's their meaning...? I have been puzzled and amazed by the fact that not a single one of them manage to answer or wanted to answer so, it created another question and there is, why...?
I apologise for my bluntness on the issue I have been intrigued for years.
Cheers
George
I appreciate your response, thank you...!It's honestly really a simple question to answer George.
I did it because I like the way it looks.
No offense taken either, by the way.
I started making these about a decade ago and that led me into penturning.
Now you're all caught up lol.
