I know I can't be the only one who has found faces in wood they have turned so I thought it might be interesting to see some. I'll start with a couple of mine. The first is not in a turning but on the paneling in my office. He watches me all day.The second and third pix are of the same bowl which is ash, turned 9 years ago.

Keith that is great. I saw a piece on the big auction site the other day that you would swear was a face drawn on it.

Interesting thread Keith,

One of my favorites, with some imagination, several faces and full forms of Sea Lions along the Oregon coast.
A turned Walnut top for a pepper mill. Taken with my old camera, wish I had a chance to retake the photo with the new camera, the mill has long been sold.

Thanks for starting the thread, great idea.

Tod, I don't know how but, I think you cheated!!! :eek: That's way too cool! :D

I've got a neat "face" at home but, it's just on a ply board and not round but, it should be "1/2 On Topic". I'll try to remember and grab a pic when I get home.:) Neat thread, Keith!!! :D :cool:

I think that eagle nebula is, (get this) 30 TRILLION LIGHTYEARS TALL! Try to wrap your brain around THAT number. Jeez.

I got no faces yet. Every once in a while I will see some post somewhere that has a dog or such on it.

So Keith has aliens surrounding him and he has an unnatural talent for turning... hmmmm.

That's cool Bill.

Jim, that vase does have what looks like the statue of Mother Mary.

Keith,

The first picture looks just like the animated flame character in the movies they showed in school teaching us not to play with fire!
