even more

Yet another, found a huge block of African Paduak, I love this wood, it has unusual dark bits here and there, this is a miniature incense holder, measures 2-1/2" from base to tip, bowl diameter is 7/8", top removes so something can be put inside.

Even more turnings

I'm as good as ready for the Miniatures Fair at the Penns Hall Hotel in Sutton Coldfield this Sunday April 3rd, so  been doing more on my lathe, here we have 3 apothecary jars based on an 18th century design, also a mortar and pestle, tallest jar is just a shade over 1" tall.

Thanks to my friend Debie Lyons for the idea of the jars.

another one

Hand carved young eagle owl, this one is in 1/24th scale, the bird itself measures 3/4" tall, in real life they can grow up to 30" tall, the case will be glazed and french polished, it will be on sale at the Sutton Coldfield Dolls House Fair on Sunday April 3rd.

fishy

Got to finish the cases off, but needed to take photo before I put the glass in place, 1/24th carp and 1/12th carp.

Lot more fish to put in cases before my next fair, fast running out of time though, so not a lot more will be added to my blog before the Sutton Coldfield fair on April 3rd.

still working

Still getting stock ready for the Sutton Coldfield Fair which is now only two weeks away!

Not sure what wood this is, but turned these this morning, they are solid, tops are not removable and they have been waxed, just thought I would try a few different shapes.

Tallest is 1-7/16" tall, smallest one is 1" tall.

Will be getting new stocks of wood in shortly, but for now want to use up what I have.

small wood turnings

Did a tad too much yesterday so resting up today and watching the cricket!

Turned these yesterday in what I think is black walnut, suitable for 1/24th scale, the small vase 2nd from the right is just 5/16" tall, photo is a bit lighter than in real life.

On sale on my website harvington.com on the 1/24th page, the set is available for £10.

Finished carving my 1/24th eagle owl last night and as soon as I have the case made will post a photo here, couple of days hopefully.
