Clipper is a little app that displays the text currently in your mac’s clipboard and allows you to edit it and copy the results back to the clipboard. Produced mainly to patch a whole in Voiceover accessibility but it has its uses in other areas too.
As the title says, more bowls in Ash, Iroko, Lime and African Walnut. The African Walnut in particular is an interesting wood to turn.
The bowls keep on coming. Many of these are cut from smaller blanks with the exception of the Iroko, probably my largest bowl yet.
Finally found a use for the small leftovers from Project Cherry. I gifted a commemorative CD set to a friend and wanted to make a box for them.
This was a batch of wands created to raise money for a local charity. I think there were around 55 in total.
The very first bowl I turned was in Tulipwood. When I started out I was hesitant to try a thin rim at risk of ruining the project.
African Walnut (Lovoa trichilioides) grows in West Tropical Africa from a relatively small tree, standing on average 30-46 m tall with a trunk diameter of 0.6-1.
The Lime (Latin Tilia) tree, also known as Linden and (most commonly in the United States) Basswood, can reach a height of 40 metres and has a typical trunk diameter between one and two metres. The Lime wood species is unrelated to the citrus fruit.
This bowl was turned from an Idigbo blank. I’d never heard of Idigbo (Terminalia ivorensis) which hails from west Africa and is commonly used in joinery due to its durability and stability, and limited moisture movement.
Described as “the greenish yellowish wood yielded from the Tulip tree found on the eastern side of North America and also in some parts of China”. (Reference Wikipedia).
I had a request to build a guitar for gigging that wouldn’t be as maintenance-free as possible. While guitars are reliable instruments, they do need a certain amount of upkeep and this is especially so on the road.
