This is an easy spindle turning project. A dibble is a tool used by a gardener to make holes to plant seeds, bulbs or small plants. I started with a pieces of white oak. You could use maple, ash or any hardwood.
I started with a piece of wood 1 1/2" square and 12" long. I used a roughing gouge to get the piece round.
I them used my skew to finish the project. I turned 1" knob on the end, then a 4" handle. The pointed end is marked at 1" intervals to show how deep you are making the hole.
This one can make up to a 4" deep hole. One I completed the turning, I used sand paper to smooth out the project, them completed it with a couple of coats of wipe on poly.
This is a quick easy project, any gardener would love.
