A good turn this afternoon was followed by sanding some beautiful new hardwood slabs. Though looking deceptively like table legs they're actually part made arms for a Wing Chun training dummy. . . . . . #woodturning #wingchun #martialarts #lovewood #wivamac #lazarusbespokemartialartsdummies #hardwoodtimbersupplies #festoolrotex #ash #yew #spindleturning https://www.instagram.com/p/B4LfCpgAKDC/?igshid=1r7fnvtwa15s3

You can see from the long tangled shavings 'waterfall' at the back of my lathe that I was working on sycamore earlier today, but I'm now onto a stack of ash which is producing waste of a rather different character... #woodgeek #makingshavings #wivamac #lovemylathe #makersgonnamake #bowlturner #woodenbowls #woodenbowl #designedforlife #treen #tableware #tactile #lovewood #hamletcrafttools #robertsorbytools #growninbritain #traditionalcraft #sustainablebydesign #smallbusiness #handmade #hardwood https://www.instagram.com/p/BsBKa1BgmyH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gnvvl6oyu4ui

A mixed bag this afternoon, both with shapes and species. Sycamore (centre) definitely makes the best shavings, ash (left) remains my favourite for appearance, beech (right) I'm not so enamoured with. #lovemylathe #wivamac #woodturning #tableware #treen #woodware #makingshavings #newbowls #handmade #workshoplife #ash #sycamore #beech #nativetimber https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp-IWK0AeEl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14pegzau007ae
