As some of you already know, I have a couple of lathes at the house and have been playing around with different woods and acrylics trying to come up with some different kilt pins. So far I have been semi-successful in my endeavors but, it's a work in progress to be sure.

Aside from kilt pins I thought I'd also share what we mostly do with the lathe aside from the kilt pins and chess pieces.

If you recall my 2nd kilt pin then you'll recognize the material it came from!


Spalted hackberry


Tiger maple


American walnut (from my back yard, no less)


Tulip (also from my yard)


Acrylic


Australian brown mallee burl


Anyways, just wanted to share some of what me and my wee lad, Jake, do in our spare time.
