Default More Skewing Around

Charlie They're gorgeous!
I'm so jealous... so SO jealous!
I turned a set out of cocoa bola, put the squares into the handset of my
Dremel and used an altered Xacto knife.
I thought they looked pretty good, considering the rudimentary technique...
but now I must bow to the master.

.... sooooooo.... ya gonna send me a set?

*giggle*

Actually, these were too small to turn with a half inch skew, even
with a curved edge, so I used a quarter inch bench chisel sort of
like a single bevel skew - actually more like a bedan.

Have Kate to thank for suggesting cribbage pegs - the
bottom of these things are 1/8" diameter - cribbage board
hole size.

Need to shoot these with actual daylight instead of just
a 60 watt bulb.

I think I've now turned all the way through The Zone . . .
but maybe I can . . .

Turning is addictive and now there's no such thing as
SCRAPS. That's good right?
