Hey, Steve! Not sure how long you can play the rookie card when you're turning stuff like that... I'm happy to see you over here.

[Steve bellinger]

Thanks ya'll. Roger signed up for the grizzly green monster group. Do i get a cookie now?:D
David i thought i'd try using that card as long as i could get away with it.;) Michael hope to be able to put up some more pics as soon as i finish some new ones up.

[John Hart]

Steve - Welcome to the Creek! Looking forward to seeing what you are turning these days!

[John Keeton]

Welcome, Steve!! I love the wood on that box, BTW. Look forward to seeing some more stuff from you. I rarely get to any other forums, so you need to post 'em here, for sure!

[Steve bellinger]

Thanks all.John H but i still think of my self as a rookie:(. Especially when i see stuff like ya all turn.John K i have a number of stuff in the works so when i get something finished i'll try my luck at a pic or two here also.It seems like every forum has a different way of posting pics. Takes me a little bit to figure them out. As you can tell i'm not real puter savy.Steve you know your stuff along with a crazy nut from Calf. has been my inspiration since i found these forums.

Awww crud...competition just went up! Hey Steve!! Welcome and I know you have more stuff than that!!

[Roland Martin]

Welcome aboard Steve. Great turning group here. Now, that just does'nt qualify as a rookie box, FYI;). Very nice turning, glad you joined.

[Mark Hazelden]

Welcome Steve,

I think I've heard your line before. I'm a rookie, I've never played poker before,..... :)

Nice work and please keep sharing it with us.

Didn't know you were here also Jim. Looks like i'm late for the party again.;)Rich, Roland, Mark thanks for having me here and the kind welcome. Jim and the rest of ya that have seen these please ignore.:p These are a couple old pieces i've done. The platter was the first burned piece i've ever done on a turning. The box elder vase is the stuff i really like to do. i know some don't like the voids but i think there cool looking.:D

Dan thanks much.This box was inspired by a box Mike Staffard showed over on a different forum. It's aprox 4x 31/4. The finish was 2 coats danish oil, followed by 4or 5 coats rattle can lacquar. Knocked the lacquar down with steel wool, then waxed, and hand buffed.

[Steve bellinger]

Mark don't know why you keep getting pushed to the back.:confused:

[John W Dixon]

Welcome Steve, Nice looking pieces.

[Jim Burr]
