Swinging on Birches
I turned birch for the first time a few weeks ago. I didn’t have high hopes for it, never heard of anyone really turning it before. Long story short, birch is great. It has a really interesting grain and can be turned very thin when it’s green (so thin that it will crack if you drop it). And I’m pretty happy with how these small lamp shades turned out.
