I saw several gloats of "Mini Monster's received!!" and didn't want to steal anyone's thunder. But mine showed up too! (Thanks Randy!!!!!) so I gave a whirl at a Potpourri pot given they are all the rage this time of year. Gum wood 4x3 with 4 coats of rattle can lacquer. Had I thought of it, I think AO would have been a better choice...RCL seems to be a little peely. Anyway...C&C invited and used!!!

Jim, very nice work!! I am curious - noticed the bowl of cereal - surely, you didn't have to eat your Cheerios before doing that hollowing?!?!?:D:D

So, what do you think of the Monster?

Actually, I think he made his kid stop eating breakfast to hold his monster for the photo shoot!:D

Congrats on the new toy and a nicely turned piece.

I did sir...turning takes a lot of energy! Honestly, Mr. Keller hit it on the head. Lucky for me, the Lucky Charms were spared much damage in the making of that photo:D I need a few more months on the Monster and lots of sawdust to be proficient, but I'm ready for the challenge!;)

That's funny! Saw the mailman coming and knew what it was, dropped breakfast and forgot all about it to get the new tool together! Great job on the bowl, and beautiful grain there. I've got some gum, but no grain quite like that.
