Okay, finally got to do some hands on training with a buddy here in town. I turned on his massive Powermatic lathe, going back to my Delta 460 is going to feel a little different... Anyways, I'm working up to this:

3" legs which will be for my first 'project'- and end table with a drawer at the top and a shelf at the bottom. I practiced some of the elements today on some poplar. After some more practice, I will turn a prototype out of 16/4 poplar and then dig into my 16/4 mahogany I bought for the project.
Thought I'd post my first efforts. This was 2.5" poplar, I didn't do the full leg, just tried some of the design elements:
