Laminating is fun

Ed Davidson

Seven elements make up each of these new finger tops...some of my best so far.

Pink variegated stone on the base, stabilized and dyed Box Elder Burl wood, red cast acrylic, red pearl acrylic and African Blackwood handle.

White variegated stone on the base, Bocote wood, black and Tortoise Shell acrylic.

Beyond Beautiful!

My name is Don and I'm a Turning addict. There, I finally can admit I have a problem. The problem is not enough time to turn! I work as a Medical Imaging Tech for a living but that's just so I can light and heat the shop and buy more tools. I've been turning since 2000 and it has changed my life. I never had a creative outlet before I discoverd Woodturning and now I can't get enough. After I turned my first pen, my wonderful wife saw how excited I was and bought me a mini lathe. She now refers to herself as a "Turning Widow". She is a potter and quilter so she understands the obsession. My interests in turning are many and varied and I'm sure I will not live long enough to try everything I'd like to, but I'll give it a shot. Unfortunately we don't have any children or pets so you'd think I have all kinds of free time to turn, but for some reason I don't. I belong to the Adirondack Woodturners Association in upstate New York, the Mohawk Valley Woodturners, the Old Country Guild of Woodturnes and AAW, as well as the Northeastern Woodworkers Association. (I'd also like to learn to do flatwork someday.) Happy and Safe Turning, Don

Ed,

It's so nice to see your work again and have you back on Wood Central. I've really missed it. It's beautiful.

Thanks everyone, I do appreciate all the positive feedback.

I'm thinking of making a how-to video on the small-scale lamination process used on these tops and other small turnings. Will let you know when it gets done.
