Recent turning projects

Other than one large bowl, most of my recent projects have been with small scraps of wood-

This is a pencil pot for the wife made from hornbeam:


This is a scratch awl / ice pick made from mesquite:


Match/needle/toothpick case from bradford pear:


A pizza cutter from oak:


A nautical themed pen for a navy friend from an oak branch he recently cut:


And a wireless speaker in maple:


Sad thing is, this hasn't made a dent in the scrap pile.
