I found some time to practice my turning skills. Still need a lot more practice. I set up my grinder with a wolverine system I purchased a few years ago finally, so maybe I'll get in more practice now. I ripped a 2 x 6 into square strips for practice wood. Snowmen make a good practice design.
The practice pieces found a display setting. The soft wood tears out really easily even with sharp tools.

Had some pieces of cherry left from making the daughter's furniture that I used for the handles.

I have a couple more serving sets to make. I also have some pen kits I may try before I reconfigure to finish up some other projects.

Very nice. I also have a Wolverine System, and it certainly makes sharpening much easier. Oh, and I also use it with a slow speed grinder with a cbn wheel on one side and an white wheel on the other.
