Allow me to introduce myself

[Mike Marmon]

Howdy All;
I have been lurking around this site for a while now and decided that it was time that I introduce myself. My name is Mike and I am a wood turner :D . I have been turning for a little over a year now. I started with a Jet mini and have upgraded to a second hand Jet 1236. I live in Portland OR. I have turned bonkers, bottle stoppers and bowls - Oh My! Just starting to try my hand at Hollow Forms with the Sorby hollow master. Once I get happy with one of them I will post pictures. This forum has become a regular part of my day and I am glad to be a part of it. The pictures below represent some of the nicer things that I have done.

Maple bowl 6 1/4 X 4 1/4 wipe on Poly
Mesquite NE bowl 6 1/2 X 3 Danish oil
Myrtle Bowl 9 1/2 X 2 1/4 Danish oil
