Woodturning a Mouse

In this video I create a wooden mouse on the lathe. This is mostly spindle type turning and is a very simple project good for any level of woodturner. I also made up a piece of wooden cheese just to display the mice. This was a bid of a whimsical type project, unlike my more traditional work, but it was fun and makes a great little gift.

Something different this time, but beautifull as always.

Thanks

[@gerdashupe1546]

Great job, I will make a few just to add to my display of cutting boards.

[@frankdidomizio]

Thanks, great idea

I love these little mice! I'm thinking that I'll make some with painted eyes, so they are just a bit more kid friendly! Hoping to make a few today for a sale tomorrow, in Port Severn 🇨🇦 Ontario
Thanks Frank!

[@frankdidomizio]

Thanks, yes, painted eyes/nose would make it more child friendly for sure and reduces a bit of drilling. great idea. Good luck with the sale....we are from the Peterborough, ON area and I hope to sell these in some shows I am doing later in the summer and into the fall, have not figured out what to sell them for, maybe $25 or $30 ???

[@spiritwynd]

@@frankdidomizio you could probably get that price in the city! But the smaller towns don't seem to want to pay a fair price for items like this. I actually did very well at the sale, and I've been invited to the Coldwater Steampunk festival in August! I'd better get busy!

[@frankdidomizio]

Great news for you, well done. Yes, I am getting faster at making these now and I think I will try $20 when I do get to sell them at a show I am doing in mid August. Same thing in my area, often people don't want to pay for the time you put into unique hand made pieces.

[@olddovecote4875]

Great idea! My wife loves mice and I will make her a pleasant surprise! Thanks Frank!

[@frankdidomizio]

Thanks, it will make a great little surprise
