Dying Star Fabrications

The life of a serial hobbyist

Welcome… again

What started as a father / son team working with fire in a home built forge has morphed into something different.

We still dabble in metal but my (the father part of this team) is now focusing on wood.

Some alcohol inks add a touch of color to the bowl finished with a mixture of Bees Wax and Mineral Oil — Bowl is 5 7/8 round, stands 1 7/8 inches tall with the dish being 1 1/4 deep.

Spending time with the lathe watching the wood form into something new and unique is oddly satisfying.
