Hi Everyone,
Here is a blog devoted to pole turning. I think the author lives in Bucklebury, in the UK, the same place Kate Middleton comes from.

Last project for the year
Whew! I'm done!
I decided to change course and defer the tea box until next year--my joints are killing me, it's freezing cold in the workshop, and after 5 months of wood work, I'm just plum tuckered out so I did a brief project for a couple of young friends who wanted a lazy susan as a gift for their brother. Here is the top out of Phillipine mahogany with a bottom out of pine:
When I've assembled it with the lazy susan bearing I'll send you one last photo.
Wow, I'm tired.
More later,

...AND THE WINNER IS...
Hi Everyone,
I'm delighted to announce the winner of the Selkie Wood Works - Blue House Bowl Raffle is Valerie Matthews of St. Paul, Minnesota! Here is a photo of Valerie with the bowl:
Way to go Valerie!
I was also told by the Blue House officials that the bowl raffle raise quite a bit of money and I've agreed to do it again next year.
Also, the SWW stuff sold very well and I'm pleased that people were able to get some of my stuff for holiday gifts for friends and family. All in all a terrific event.
I will donating to the Blue House annual boutique next year so keep an eye on the blog as I make stuff and post photographs.
Happy Holidays!!

Next Project and end of year plans
Hi Everyone,
It has gotten cold here and we're supposed to get a pile of snow this afternoon--winter has arrived a few weeks early. As my shop isn't heated and I need to do some maintenance on my tools I'll be closing down at the end of my next project until February 2012. But I still have some work left to do and I'll be sharing photos of that next week.
The laminated platter that I made is done and I'm very happy with the way it turned out:
This will make a lovely gift in a couple of weeks and I will be making more of these next year.
As for next year's plans: I'm going to be concentrating on platters and bowls and tea boxes while at the same time scaling back my wood working a bit as I'm getting busier at work. But I will be posting pictures and describing my projects. And I also plan to do some inside out turnings in which I will take a wooden bowl and turn it inside out. Stay tuned for that one.
My last project for the year will be a tea box out of cherry and walnut, with a Brazilian cherry top and foot. I have a wonderful friend who loves red colored woods and this is as red as it gets. So grab some coffee and drop by the wood shop and we'll have one last adventure to close out this year.
See you soon,
