Woodturned Hourglass


This was my first Hourglass and was made from Kingwood.


Project Description:
 Some samples of hourglasses I have made. It is a practical way to exercise my woodturning skills such as copying spindles and also faceplates. I am also using it to experiment with segmented turning. No two turn out the same and people enjoy them as Christmas gifts.

Time to Build: 6-20 Hours    Difficulty: Moderate
