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
