wood turning beads from offcuts other odd bits

These are bits and pieces out of the firewood box, the corners of glue ups after I've cut out a round blank. I tend to glue up a lot of blanks using different coloured woods. Maple and walnut is my favourite combination. Cutting the scraps at an angle creates a nice looking bead. I've experimented with different shapes and wood combinations. I've also glued up some scraps just to turn as beads.

Hi Ultra! Great idea for scraps! I really like how you cut some at an angle! Very nice! Cheers from Florida 🤓

[@ultrawoody1968]

Thanks...I cut them badly and roughly on the bandsaw....the angles make the nice curves....thanks again 😀

[@baun16]

Very enjoyable to watch and relax with you at the lathe. I did cringe a bit when you were at the bandsaw😢. You where right the first couple of days were the worst but it is healing.

[@ultrawoody1968]

I'm glad to hear you are feeling better...keep taking the pills....thanks for watching 😀

Nice video and great use of all those scraps I've not discarded because "one day" I might find a use for them! Now I did! We have a family reunion coming up in a couple of months and this would be an ideal project for the grandkids to spend some time making their own creations. One question though, where did you get the findings for the ends?

[@ultrawoody1968]

Thanks thats great support 👍....findings......do you mean the clasp and ring?...the jungle website....Amazon.co.uk 😀 thanks again have fun....it would be a great job for kids....keyring and light pulls also...😀
