My First Wig Stands

The Mid South Woodturners Guild has started a new outreach program to make wig stands in support of cancer patients who have lost their hair during the treatment of their disease.  

These photos are of the first eight wig stands I have completed during the past two weeks in support of this new Giving Back program.   They were made from a variety of different woods and feature multiple forms of embellishment and finishing techniques.

No. 4

No. 5 - Base

No. 5 - side view

No. 6

No. 7

No. 8 is my "for now and later" wig stand.  

The base is a stand-alone hollow form with a removable top that allows the hollow form to function as a wig stand during treatment but without the top ("later") it becomes a decorative art piece.
