#woodturning #woodworking #christmas
In this week's video I turn a snowman/penguin (Not really sure which one it looks more like) from an old bowling pin. The pin was made from solid maple with a plastic coating.
The hat body is Iroko and the base is Panga Panga.
It's all been sanded to 1200 grit and finished with sanding sealer and wood wax.
Let me know what you think?

Disclaimer:
My videos are for entertainment purposes only. Some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest, so when using any tool or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines first.
And Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practice. The gloves I wear are tight-fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT copy my actions if you feel unsafe doing so.

Just a note to anyone who might want to try this, you should know that bowling pins often have a significant void in the base. I've dismantled many of them in my hobby and you typically see a couple holes about 30mm drilled thru the inner layers. If you were turning a pin and hit one of those holes, a very nasty accident could result.

Used to live near Corry, Pennsylvania. It had a bowling pin factory. You could get a pickup full of seconds blanks and scraps for a buck or two. They were loaded by a conveyor belt. It was all maple I believe and burnt real well in the old coal furnace and fireplace. This was in the 50s and 60s.
