Pima Design Basket Illusion
Beaded with 1/8" beads and pyrography (most of my beaded platters feature 3/16" beads).
Actual size of Pima original platter is unknown, but I estimate that this 10" platter is 50% of the original.

Delicacy
Delicacy was inspired by and started at Arrowmont School of Arts and Craft located in Gatlinburg, Tennessee during a one-week class with J. Paul Fennell. Class was titled: Embellishing Wood Vessels: Simple Tactile Designs to Elegant Narrative Expression.
In my 19 years of woodturning, Paul was one of the best instructors I've had.
The piece was finished three weeks after returning home.

Shaping the Top for a Wig Stand
Here I am in the process of making the top for a wig stand from MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard).
MDF is dusty to work with, so watch closely and you can see the dust being controlled by the large fan in a window behind my lathe. (off-screen to the right).
This is the easiest to view if you click to enlarge the video to full screen.

Demonstration for Mid South Woodturners Guild - Complete
On Saturday June 25, 2022, I did a demonstration for my woodturning club - Mid South Woodturners Guild (MSWG).
During the demo I went through the complete process of making a wig stand using MDF (medium-density fiberboard) and furniture found curbside (as in put out for the trash) or at Goodwill's last-chance bargain annex.
The link below goes to a related post shared on MSWG's blog:
