Fun project Tomislav! Really like the use of these projects for skew practice. I made several of these a while ago and they are a lot of fun to make. If you drill a small hole about 1/4 or so down from the cutout, you can get a two note whistle. When I made mine, I didn't use them as skew practice -- need to do that in the future. I really like the design you used around the mouthpiece -- sanding that shape really makes it look good.

Your skew is way thicker than mine. But I'll try to get it really sharp and see if I can make a whistle. Totally off topic, I have a piece of a tree that was knocked down in a storm. It is 9" in diameter and 14" long. How would you prepare it for turning? I was thinking of sawing it in half lengthwise, then again in half crosswise, giving 4 blanks 7" x 9" x 4-1/2".
@tomislavtomasicwoodturningАй бұрын
Its actually pretty much standard thickness of 6mm or 1/4 inch I would probably cut that since it's small into spindle blanks but bigger ones for tea caddies let's say, or bowl blanks and the short rest into small spindle blanks
