I know I just got a biggie in the 3520 but these were in need of being finished. Comments are always appreciated and I have to add that they were rushed through the finish dept cause they had to be at a local display and I was late

Glad you got a lathe big enough to handle those things!

Actually, since small items are turned at high RPM, the stability and smoothness of the big machine is very noticeable. :D Just wish I could afford one - maybe next year....

It does look a little backwards, but there is a method to my madness. I will be working on some size-appropriate pieces very soon. I did want to be tuned up on my finials, although I need to improve my photo taking so you can see the details. I will post some bigger stuff as I finish them.

Really nice birdhouses. Looks like the lathe is working for you.
