Obi Wan Kenobi’s lightsaber from A New Hope, made with maple, mopane, lacewood, African Blackwood, and redheart on a walnut stand.

This one was fun but Blackwood sure is hard to carve. I also did a bit of pyrography on this one, which did warp the lid of the slidy box but it sort of unwarped as it cooled after I stuck it in the vice so it does work.

I just realized something very silly

I watch 3 main woodturning YouTube channels; WoodWorkshop, Andy Phillip, and Jack Mack Woodturning

I refer to them by name when talking about them, but WoodWorkshop does not advertise their name, so I call them Woody

Woody. And another channel I watch is by Andy

Andy and Woody

I just need to find a woodturning channel with a guy called Buzz and I'll have Toy Story

(You're ruining the vibe here, Jack Mack. Change your name already)

A walnut and maple bowl turned from a piece of scrapwood a friend gave me! It had a hole I had to plug with a dowel (material of dowel unknown) and overall I think it gives it a funky modern look. I love how this turned out!

Wooden Jedi vector, made with cedar, panga panga, redheart, and lacewood, with a cherry stand.

This was quite awkward to figure out because there isn’t one specific way a vector should look. All the official art is very slightly different so I had to figure out the right shapes and proportions for everything so it still looked enough like a vector. It’s not massively symmetrical but the Art of the High Republic book mentions that ship models for Star Wars actually have built in asymmetry to make it look more lifelike, so yeah that’s all definitely intentional I did that on purpose, definitely…

The joints on this could definitely be stronger, it’s literally just held together with glue, but as long as you don’t swoosh it too hard it does hold itself together.

Did some wood turning last weekend and finally got around to applying some shellac.

This started off as a 6x6 beam of ash, that I turned into this vase. Originally had a bit more of a lip at the top but I delved too deep and it cracked so I shortened it.

lots of people out there making DIY video for wood turning lathes for people that can't afford to buy a professional one.

meanwhile our ancestors:

(when we say we're using the same tools that existed for millennials, we're not paraphrasing).
