Lovely lighthouse H ! Like the detailing of the rail, nice touch ! 👍 Thanks for sharing🙏 Take care. -Mike p.s. and here I thought I'd never be able to get any of that exotic Manitoba maple; ha, the secret is out Lol !

[@spiritwynd]

Lol Mike! It's not that exotic here! 🙃

[@mpart_woodlathe-stuff]

@@spiritwynd It is if you include shipping, etc. 👍😎

[@emgiwoodworks]

A real lighthouse for sure. You did a great job on all those little details. Great for someone who likes to put it on display. You can strike this one off your list Heather! Happy New Year! 😎

[@spiritwynd]

Thanks Leo I didn't want to burn anything on this one, (like I did on my first one) because I thought it would take away from the beautiful grain! Some of the knots look like flames to me!

[@neilgriffin1860]

beautiful skew work well done

[@spiritwynd]

Thanks Neil! I did get a couple catches, but nothing too serious. It needed sharpening. Happy New Year!

[@rondesroches3637]

You did a really nice job on the lighthouse.

[@spiritwynd]

Thanks Ron!

[@selinawilliams3232]

great job and what a thoughtful gift. I am sure your friend will love it; lighthouses are on my list of favourite structures and you did it justice. Kudos.

[@spiritwynd]

Thanks Selina! I love lighthouses too!

Box elder grows like a week in my part of Kentucky. I pulled some from my wood pile and was amazed at how it turned. It is almost cream colored unless you add some finish, then it turns a sort of blue color. It is a fun wood.

[@spiritwynd]

It is a beautiful soft wood, with red grain running through it! So easy to turn! I have lots of it now too! Thanks for watching!

[@bluediabolo1]

Turned out very , very nice Heather. How long did that take you ? Happy New Year from Bavaria :)

[@spiritwynd]

Thank you Blue! It took about 3.5 hrs including sanding. The hardest part was cutting out the windows! I should have used a new blade as this one was burning the wood more than cutting it. I've only been turning since January 2021 so I'm not very fast. But I like taking my time to get a product that I'm satisfied with. Thanks for watching! ♥️ Heather 🇨🇦
