Today's turning...uh, contraption *LINK*

>Recently, I've been trying to economize on wood usage and make some things out of what would normally be shavings on the floor. As an example, whenever I start to make a platter, I'll cut a few rings from the backside or the wood blank first. Now to find something to do with them...

This contraption measures about 9" across and is made from a couple of those saved maple rings. The legs and washers are walnut. The hourglass part measures 7" X 3" and was purchased from National Artcraft for $9.95 (link below). Hope you like it.

Best regards,

Ed D.

>Ed, I like your idea and it looks well made. I saw another turner who used similar pieces of 'scrap' to make mirror frames.
