Quick spinning top.
May 20^th, 2011 at 2:00pm

Just a quickie on me making a quick spinning top, no sanding or decorating.Only 2 1/2 mins. Wood was too hard to make quickly with a skew IMHO. Very hard Beech, table leg section. Love free wood !!! smiley=beer.gif

I like it. I should try making some, I don't know why I never thought of making one before. Was that just a bowl gouge you were using?
