First Turnings

[David Little]

:o These are some of my first turning products. I began turning in January on a Jet mini. Like most newbies I, of course, went through a few exciting blowouts before I learned how to keep things together. These are on the small size, but were fun and, hopefully, will lead to bigger things.

The first photo is a small lidded mesquite bowl. I'm in west Texas, so mesquite seems a good wood to practice on. Besides, I really like how it turns and how it looks.

The second is a small layered bowl with a lid. The wood beginning from the bottom is walnut, pecan and mesquite.

The third and fourth pictures are of mesquite bowls, about 3 inches across and two inches high and 5 inches across and 3 inches high.

This is my first attempt to post pictures, so I hope those attachments really do appear with the message.

Super firsts! My firsts (which you ain't gonna see) don't look half (if even that) so nice!

BTW, great to have you on the forum!
