Hi All,
Just finished turning my first piece of olivewood, and figured out why I like turning so much.
I've only been at this a couple weeks, but when I finished this pen, I realized it's like a treasure hunt.
You can look at the outside of a chunk of wood, and then be totally amazed at what you find inside.
(insert Forest Gump box of chocolate reference here:D )
Thanks for all the great info I have been able to get from everyone in the group.
