Pretty pleased with the way this turned out!
While it's not something I made to sell, this is one of the projects I worked on last week, using iron acetate as a stain. There are a few woods that react well with iron acetate, but white oak is one of my favorites because of how the grain can still manage to show a contrast even as it darkens.

It was a bit nerve-wracking to hollow this one out, since I was so worried about the wood chipping on the edge—there wasn't much room for error—but I think it turned out great.
Dice cups are one of my favorite projects I make, and it's even more fun when I get a request for something customized. I had to work more carefully with this one since the walls are only 1/8" thick, but it was worth it—this turned out beautifully!

I finally figured out what the two bills will cost, and we're 13% funded for these medical bills. If you can give or share the link, I'd really appreciate it
$100/$746

hey y'all, I'm still not getting paid for this medical leave, and I have some doctor and dentist bills due in the meantime. If anyone feels so moved (and is able) to toss me a coin I'd greatly appreciate it: ko-fi.com/tomstea

It's been a while since I've made any of these—the last batch of cap hangers I built were in late December. While I've been having a blast turning dice cups on the lathe recently, it's nice to revisit the item that prompted me to actually try my hand at selling my creations in the first place.
Kicking up sawdust again for a recent order of cap hangers!
I try to keep a few 6.5" face plates partially prepped for each wood I use, but sometimes a narrower cap hanger is needed. It was the perfect opportunity to get some more stock, and even unfinished, I love the grain pattern on this Maple!

This was also one of the first times I used India ink to ebonize wood (sycamore). It's not something I plan on doing often, though I like the results.
Hopefully, I'll be adding things like this to the shop at some point, but for now, I'm just having fun turning an assortment of woods into small bowls on the lathe.

So much sawdust today. Even though I was brushing it off from time to time, I didn't realize until far too late that it was getting inside my hoodie!

Four different woods, but such a range of shades/effects just from a bit of iron acetate on some of them

Given that I didn't even know they made beading cutters until just a moment ago, I'll consider this a decent result for my first real try, having used a diamond point to cut the beading

Progress shot of getting the blanks bored out and ready to be turned on the lathe. I'm happy with the couple profiles I've made so far, but will likely try doing another one or two just to have some variety.

Also, I'm super happy with how strong the chatoyancy still is after ebonizing this one!

Four dice cups made, and about 2d8 to go. I'm having fun with trying different techniques, styles, and woods, ultimately refining my process a little with each subsequent piece.

Not bad for my first time turning a dice cup on the lathe earlier this evening
