Turned a few eggs and a small platter

[jschoolcraft]

Took a platter class that my club was putting on and I think I finally unblocked whatever hangup I had in my brain. But turned a few eggs to practice with the skew after seeing one from one of my club members.

I think I needed to turn the speed down to color the eggs with sharpie or they're just garbage sharpies. Ones a little smaller than the others because of a catch so I had to reduce the diameter.

Fun little project though.

Very nice, one is a little smaller because it came from a younger wooden chicken.

Yeah. Someone else said all eggs are different and you can find excuses for any eggs from hummingbirds to reptiles and probably even fictional egg layers.

For an interesting look, turn some oak eggs from quartersawn pieces.

I don't have any oak. I went and bought some hard maple and cherry just to turn the platters so I wouldn't forget the class I took. I picked up some scraps of walnut and cherry to turn some spurtles or something out of.
