Woodturning A Natural Edge Necklace Pendant

I enjoyed the 2016 Utah Woodturning Symposium. I plan to soon turn my version of many projects and techniques I saw there. The inspiration for this one is Linda Ferber, who makes wood components to jewelry.
This pendant is hazelwood pruned from my back yard. I mounted it in my home made wood chuck jaws to turn a small button on its side. The wood was tilted to put the button on a different axis for more interest. After turning the button, I remounted the wood between centers. However, I also offset the turning axis toward the side with the button. As a result, as I turned a teardrop shape, the bark formed a natural edge border around the button. After finishing with shellac, I buffed this amazingly white wood and mounted a jump ring to connect it to a necklace.
It was a fun little project that I will do more with.
Good turning.

Alan
Then desired enjoy doing. :-D
Nice turn. Would have never thought of it.
Thank you - I get ideas from others also. :)
Alan
I like that turning limbs is always fun project
Thanks for sharing
That and the raw material is cheap. :)
Alan
Great looking little piece. Will have to try it. Thanks
Not much wood required - could be scrap or offcuts from other larger projects.
You're welcome
Alan
A great project Alan, very well turned my friend. As well as a beautiful piece, a good skill builder too.
Take care
Mike
Agree on the skill builder - many the elements of eccentric or natural edge but much shorter with less material at risk.
Thank you Mike

Neat little project Alan! I like it alot and think it would make a great Christmas Tree ornament if your bride would prefer a smaller and lighter version? Great to see that you're still thinking/turning out of the box and I really enjoy your creative nature and look forward to your new projects!!! Thanks for sharing and safe turning to you always!
That's another great idea. If I interpret you correctly, I skewed axis hollow with not button that then can have a Christmas tree inside.
Try it for the 2016 Challenge.

Looks real good looks like pendants they sold back in the sixties on the NJ Boardwalk
That's a bit back and way before I ever went near NJ. :)
Alan
That is a wonderful idea!! I bet I could make a few of these out of Olive and they will look fantastic!! Just need to get my lathe up and running again.. I still love the large wooden jews!

Olive wood would be beautiful.

Interesting. How do people spot that shape in a limb?
That shape was in there, just had to cut away a little wood. :)
