Mom wants to show you...Lovely wood turned gifts

In my Christmas Day, post I mentioned that I would show you pictures
of the gorgeous hand turned wood gifts my son-in-law made for family and friends
this year.

Please click on the pictures to get a better look.

Top row (left to right)
screwdriver, tea candle holders (cherry wood) with LED battery flickering flames. One of the those was for me.
Second Row (l to r) wine bottle stopper, wooden apples (cherry wood)
clock (maple) for his brother. Below the apples there is a back scratcher, 2 more screwdrivers,
mallet is made from dogwood that was in his parent's yard. Also picutred are
two decorative fishing lures. The beautiful bowl was made from a Holly tree his boss cut down.
He made the bowl for his boss.
A better picture of the bowl.
When I was buying his Christmas presents from WoodCrafters...I saw a bowl...
they told me he would not be able to turn a bowl until he took classes.
HA HA HA to them
He turned a bowl w/o classes. I believe he can do just about any thing.
He is also a great cook!!!
Ring box below was for my Mother.


Keep in mind all these items start out as a chunk of wood.
I have no clue how he does it. I will say that his Christmas list contained
several different tools he needs for his wood turning. We bought all of them.

One proud Mother in Law or MIL as he calls me.

  5. WOW! So very nice! I used to do a lot of woodworking and even wood turning in my very young days. Never made anything this beautiful though. Got pneumonia from the wood dust though, when working the lathe. Makes me want to do it all again. Give him my seal of aproval!

    Such a very pretty ring box - we can see why you would buy them - very unique.

  15. Wow he did an amazing job! I have watched tv shows about wood turning and think it looks like so much fun that I keep thinking of taking classes (we have a Wood Crafters like 5 minutes from our house) but have never done it. I am very impressed he did the bowl with no classes - they did one on the tv show and it looked tough!

  16. Each piece is well made and beautiful, your SIL is very talented. I really like the candles.

    I was over last night and Blogger was being finicky and would not let me post a comment. I hope this goes through.

  17. When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks!
