My son posted my woodturning work on Reddit the other day, and my daughter showed me how to post on Instagram. I thought learning to woodturn at 59 was hard. This stuff is driving me nuts.

Sycamore, spiritstain and pyrography. Yay! I got it off the lathe, but not before I made lots of mistakes which I had to fix and tried to slice two fingers wide open. They still hurt.

Spirit stain and pyrography, badlybehavedelm, sycamore. Still to hollow out inside, but incase it all goes horribly wrong, this is what it looked like.

Inside the box. I don't know how to add another photo to an existing post, so here is the only photo I took of it open. The lid has been turned on the inside to create a downward hanging point. But I never took a photo, sorry. The wood was labelled paraguayan parrotwood.

Mystery wood. Does anyone know what this is? I found a large section of trunk on the beach and it had been in the water for a long time. When cut, the wood has a strong citrus odour. And whilst hard, had a lot of tear out. Also, this weird cellular section that I filled with wood dust and CA.

Clung film. Does anyone know if this will work for overnight? I never realised the time and I dont have time to turn it fully. Its chestnut. Been down a year, so still green.

Spalted birch. Has anyone got a trick I can do to be able to cut this. I let it get too spalted. But its beautiful. Is there a hardener? I tried sanding sealer.
