Couple of turnings I got done over the holidays. Apologies for the poor picture quality my picture taking setup is .. lacking.
One in Not Walnut (its another nut wood I got from a buddy, but can't remember specifically what he said it was, finished real nice though) and walnut I got from a friends tree I helped clean up (the goblet went back to him :D). I've been playing around with adding some carvings to some of these like the walnut one. Still working on proportions so can see where that is lacking some especially on the walnut one (and the other was the "prototype" sigh :o).

We have a nice little cast iron teapot, unfortunately it doesn't like to sit on the counter or it sweats and stains and rusts so I made a small trivet like stand for it. Maple burl (looked much nicer on the inside than it did on the outside otherwise may have saved it for something fancier :rolleyes: oh well). About 1/4" thick except for the center ring I left thicker at around 3/8".
