I spent all weekend trying to figure out what wood I had and one sniff and my #woodturning mentor was able to tell me that what I picked up from the side of the road was Port Orford cedar. It smells like citrus perfume and dang I wish insta had smell-o-vision.

Swipe for a Protip! ⬅️ A nail file for smoothing itty bitty pieces. Now I'm going to be looking at every nail file wondering what grit it is. 😂 A lil' maple tree from scraps finished with a wax bar while on the lathe and y'all I have a new favourite. Finishing is usually my least favourite but one quick swipe and it's sooooooo smooth! • • • • • #woodturning #lathe #handtools #woodworker #woodwork #dowoodworking #turnersofinstagram #woodturner #woodturners #woodturnersofinstagram #womenwhoturnwood #lathework #handtools #festive #christmastree #minimalchristmas #madeinvancouver #vancouvermakers

Life, lemons, lemonade. This little snowman ornament was so fragile that it broke apart at the neck during turning. Instead of throwing it all away I drilled a hole through the head and threaded wire through. Now he has an articulating head! Let's pretend I meant to do that. 😂

I can't take any credit for the shape of these, that's all my woodturning mentor. But a couple of cute little salt and pepper shakers we turned last week.

Behold, the mighty first bowl! Here's to 1000 more. I learned so much over the course of these classes from such seasoned pros. I can't recommend the class enough and the Greater Vancouver Woodturners Guild in general. So many helpful and friendly people! . . . . . . . . #woodturning #turnersofinstagram #woodbowl #woodbowlturning #woodworkforall #turning #woodturnersofinstagram

At Turning 101 they made us cut our bowls in half to see how even we were. Not great, but not awful! Sharing this somewhat useless photo to reflect back on one day when my bowls are nicer! Next class tomorrow, can't wait. #woodturning #turnersofinstagram #woodbowl #woodbowlturning #woodworkforall #woodturnersofinstagram
