Finally getting in some shop time

[Wolf Kiessling]

The medical issues in the Kiessling household are starting to stabilize (hope-hope-hope) and I managed to get a few hours in the shop this week. Naturally, I had to jump all over the lathe. I bought that new Jet 1642 EVS just before the poop hit the fan and finally got a chance to turn another bowl.

I don't know what kind of wood this is, I suspect elm, I've had it laying around for about five years now. I was going to use this bowl to do some experimentation with coloration but when that spalting and pattern emerged I figured I'd better just do a decent job turning and put a clear danish oil finish on it.

Anyhow, after an about four month layoff, here is the result.

HI WOlf,

I'm glad that you are back. I hope that things continue to improve medically. That is a great piece.

Wolf, we are praying that things continue to improve for your wife. Glad you are getting a little shop time too.

[John Miliunas]

As I see it, the time away from the shop and even just starting on a new lathe, certainly haven't prevented you from turning out a spectacular piece, Wolf! :) Looks great! Also, glad to hear things are getting better at your household! Prayers will continue. :cool:

Good to see you back, Wolf. BTW, I've taken inspiration from your work and have started a combination turning/carving as a gift for a special friend. Thanks for your continued posting of your projects!

Wolf, glad to hear that things are getting back to an even keel.
