It's around 10 month since I've been on this forum. Last year I turned about 300 pieces, this year I've turned about 20. Part of the reason is I bought a new boat, so you can guess where I've been spending my time, out catching kings and kokanee. The other reason is my shop turns into a oven in the summer, but I just solved that problem by putting a air conditioner in, so I've started turning again, mostly segmented pieces.
The first one has 43 pieces and is 14-1/8" by 2" by 1/4" thick, it's Yellow heart, Purple heart, and Bloodwood, I put the circles in using off center turning.
The second one has 109 pieces and is 9-1/8" by 3-1/4" by 1/4" thick, It's Paduck and Yellow heart. both pieces are finished with Tung oil and buffed using the Beale system.
I have 3 more almost ready, I'll post them when I get them finished.
