Mood Owls- a Fun, Whimsical Turning Project

[@scottmedori1437]

Thank you for this. Our club president had one at a meeting, which he gifted to my wife. I got the base and ball done, but was stuck on the eyes. Oh- I think it was me who said skews were for opening paint cans. I have learned a lot watching the 4 way projects, and have been practicing.

Thanks for that! Keep turning.

Great job, thanks from Argentina. I will try to do it.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Hola! You can do it!

[@jeanlong4285]

Very cute project that would probably sale well at the craft fair.

[@billy19461]

As usual you are great! I am going to try this.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Have fun, Billy!

[@williambuckley1185]

This is a good video, might try it thanks Mike

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Go for it!

[@DKWalser]

This is a very nice project!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

It really is! I have had it on my video to do list for quite some time. So many video ideas and so little time.

[@DKWalser]

@@MikePeaceWoodturning I forgot to ask: Did you consider using a forstner bit to cut the eyes? It would seem a fast, simple, and consistent way of doing it. Of course, your method requires more skill and is most likely more fun!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

@@DKWalser I did not on this project although I have used a forstner for eyes on other projects. I thought about it but I did not think a forstner created eye would look that good on an owl. But I did not test it out. Might be worth a try on a scrap piece of wood first.

Whimsical indeed! And with some nice tips. Did you try out the donut chuck previously? Thanks for another entertaining and educational video!

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

No, I would have had to make a new outer donut ring. I like using jam chucks.

[@LewisKauffman]

Thanks, Mike! Really neat project.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

You bet!
