Beautiful color. Has anyone turned redwood? I have some 3 1/2” x 8 1/2” planks that were a former water tank at a E. I. DuPont explosives plant nearby. Was thinking about some salad bowls for the in-laws.

Redwood is so soft. It would turn easy, but for a bowl I'd worry about micro splinters in the soup or salad.

In-laws Gerry.
My new apprentice is getting married next month.
She can't wear her wedding ring at work and things like that have a tendency to disappear if you just take them off and leave them by the bathroom sink.
So I resurrected my old ring box design and made one for her.

That's beautiful, Stig! And a great idea. You are right....for some reason we always put our rings by the sink. Not the ideal place.

Can she wear a wooden ring at work? 😉
Like these, you mean?
I made those because my wife asked, as a joke, if I was going to give her a ring, when we married.
They would be safe for work, as they break before the finger does.
Made of Boxwood.
The box is made out of 4000 year old Ancient Kauri from New Zealand.
Terri ( Mrs. B) has a pepper grinder made out of the same piece of wood.

I love my pepper grinder! It still has that beautiful clarity in the wood, even though we use it daily.

Here's the bowl Stig so generously brought to me, back quite a few years now

.Stig's visit
This past Wednesday I had the pleasure of hosting Stig during his whirlwind tour of the northern CA and western Oregon. He spent a day with me on the Mt. Hood NF, including a trip up to take a look through Timberline Lodge. We checked out the upper Clackamas River, had a nice little stroll...
