I am trying to clean out the back room and get it ready to start the build on my CNC router table so I have been turning anything that looks good and burnint the rest, or cutting a bunch of pen blanks out of them! So here is this mornings output from 6-7:30. Thanks and have a woody day!

I am helping my Dad move the rest of his household goods today to his new apartment, no more turning today until later this afternoon.

Thanks for checking out the curls!

Well the move went well and the weather held too! We had a couple little snow flakes but that was it. Between the turning and the moving I am moving pretty slow. I am getting some arthritis in my hands and it is acting up today after all the work. Took a hot shower and now off the the lazy boy for sme much deserved rest!

Thanks guys and have a great night!

Nice morning. I had a productive one myself, but no turning; just re-arranging the shop and working on a steady-rest, and planing boards...

Its nice to see another turner with a lot of tools in a tiny shop...err making very efficient storage use in a shop.

I did not say what the wood types were on the three bowls in the front. From left to right they are: KNOTTY WHITE PINE, SPALTED BOX ELDER, AND AMERICAN ELM. There is a vessel in the background that is white pine with 2 soakings of danish oil on it. I will post more on it as I get it done. It is very thin and the light shines through the knots and pitch filles areas. It is like Norfolk Island pine but with bigger more random knots.!

Jarrod, You only get to see a very small portion of the wood that I have on hand, not bragging but I could fill a couple of semi trailers full!! I am starting to sell some on my website and on e-bay so maybe I can buy more tools!

Back to the shop! Thanks all again

Jeff
