had a few days off from work so I hung out in the shop.

At least you get something done. All I ever seem to accomplish is create sa dust that needs to be cleaned up.

Nice work.

How is the new shop working out?

Thanks dusty,
Shop is fine, if you are ever in a driving mood, and want to stop by, let me know

I love seeing work like this. It gets me excited to get into turning. I can't wait. Beautiful work!

Lovely work.
It's been decided that my next project is new shelves in the garage/shop.
Perhaps with a little bit of organization I can get some of my work space back.
First we'll take the motorhome out for a week, then roll up my sleeves and dig into the mound made by all since Thanksgiving.
Think I'd rather turn bowls.
Happy New Years

Nice bowls keep up the good work. I can't wait to return to the shop, man I miss it. Jim

Love it
I'm often asked and I usually reply, dark wood, light wood, hard wood or soft wood. I've tried to keep track of scraps, but I'm not that organized.
Looks great, that's all that counts.

Over the years I have had a lot of guys ask me "what kind of wood is that?". I would tell them then they would question it. "Are you sure? It looks like Xxxxxxx (always something else) to me". Now when someone asks I usually just respond "Tree".
