- Another good project for the beginner wood turner. These pots are cheap and easy to make and a great exercise in using a gouge and in developing an eye for 'form'. I'll end up throwing out a lot of these because they don't come up to scratch (too many cracks etc). But some I'll keep and sell at my market stall. They are called weed pots because you can put a nice looking weed in them and display them in your home. Also good as an incense holder.

Love turning weed pots
What a coincidence, today I was doing just the same thing. We have a 5-acre bush property with a nice range of eucalyptus, wattles, Blackwood, she-oaks, etc. Many of the dead wattles have all the borer groves and holes, the same with some eucalyptus varieties. A nice surprise was a pile of old ‘she oak’ logs I cut up a year ago and left in the shade and the weather. They are very dense and hard, a superb finish without sanding and the colours are superb. I like the natural finish, with some bark and artefacts, nature helps in a very artistic way. Thank you for sharing your presentations. New to wood turning, just another interest to add to my many pursuits, I thought that I might be slowing down in my early 80’s, but not the case, still lots to have a go at yet.

They’re all amazing my brother. Thank you for sharing.
They look great, if they stay put and whole they'll make nice store additions.
AHHH, . . . a new 'turning' channel (new to me)!
I'm intrigued. Subed. Cheers from Alaska.
Welcome aboard!
Wow, they are beautiful!
Thank you
I liked this. Simple, easy, but a good skill builder / refresher as well. The hole in the neck seems a bit small, I like a bit larger to accommodate slightly thicker “twigs” or better yet glass tubes to hold a simple fresh flower. Now.....why are these “bud vases” called pots? Ps - i liked the torching effect.
really nice
Yay! Wooden onions!
Bloody Grouse experimenting to achieve something unique 👍🇦🇺👍
if you seal wet wood right after you turn it thats when you get the mold. If you leave the pieces unfinished for a few weeks they can dry naturally, you should be fine then!
Yep - putting them in a plastic bag doesn't help either (unless you want to grow mould :-) )
