A little package sent off to my sister - bobs64ford352 - 09-08-2015
I figured I'd get a few things out of the way at once: her house warming gift, Christmas and her Birthday, next January
I made everything out of birds eye maple. The pizza cutter and ice cream scoop are finished with CA glue and the cutting board was saturated in a couple doses of mineral oil and beeswax.[img]/ssl_proxy.php?url=https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/11011095_10206223558282897_145235013765008788_n.jpg?oh=57557d2ede4fdb32ae310c6f510f8faa&oe=567239D9" />

How'd you turn that cutting board flat on the lathe?
Nice work!

Another great project. Did you get the hardware from PSI?

I had to laugh to myself when I read your post. The very first pen I made was for my father who loved Birdseye maple and when I finished it had only 1 eye.
Sometime I will find a piece with a lot of them and make him another.
Thanks for posting I needed to laugh tonight.

Thanks for the comments everyone. My sister and I never really got along that well, but I figured what the hey. My dad told me recently she always talks about all the work I post on FB and make for others. Since she just bought her first house and my dad is always on my case about her I figured I'd do something nice for her.
The hardware was psi for the ice cream scoops and out of the 3 styles of scoops, I've made, these are the best to me. The have a solid feel, they look good and the best part is they are turned like a pen, with a bushing set. Once turned I just epoxied in the parts. The pizza cutter is from rockler.
As far as the cutting board...well, if you don't know how to turn thin rectangles on a lathe by now, then you never will...

You should be proud of yourself to do this for your sister. I am sure she will cherish those forever. Beautiful work, she won't be able to help but love them. And who knows, may bring you both closer together.
