Nice work, Head. Too bad we’re going to use it and stain the wood.

Have ever worked with bloodwood? I got a piece use for inlays like you do.

No, not Bloodwood, I have seen some nice things made out of Bloodwood.
about 15 years ago I bought out a Custom pool cue maker's wood inventory.
Good chance I have some for making a pool cue.
Normally i don't stain or dye wood except maple.
I apprenticed in Custom cue makers shop/factory.
I learned ALLOT.
I guess I more of turner then any other kind wood worker.

I bought a 1952 Logan 10x20 metal/threading lathe . I have a veneer trimmer I will mount on the tool post ( LIVE CUTTER )
Be nice to have ataper bar for it so I can cut in points . I do have a rotary indexer and I am tooled up to cut threads into wood.

You'd certainly find my perspective on time & effort quite superlative, yet there's an obvious dedication to explore esthetics here which should have been worthy of its own thread, though i personally prioritize function before shape. Anyway i've got to wonder what electro-erosion would accomplish in hands capable as this, for example:

Electro-erosion (2020-May-13)​

...especially when applied to vaporism featured with a secondary path injecting fresh-air into the heater core. Anyway, with themes like these it's going to make a great impression this next Halloween!

WTF you say???

he is talking about EDM machining ( electrical discharge machining ) . edm uses either a carbon electrode or a brass wire to erode away metal using a electric spark instead of a cutting tool like standard machining .

it is very precise and unlike cutting tools it works on any conductive material regardless of how hard it is . if you have the bucks to buy the high end machines you can do things like " drill" holes so tiny it takes a microscope to see them .

Very cool.... Nothing like making things............
As of many of us where our grandparents lived during the great depression and made everything....
First a billiard chalk holder I a call a Pocket Chalker , all natural wood and antler.
Tray was made by my grandfather in 1933 same year as my mother was born.
PS wrong bowl for the that pipe ,
That bowl goes to this pipe.
