This is a bit of a test to see if I can get a few pictures up on SMC.
I'm a new turner and I've had my lathe (PM) and bandsaw (Rikon) for a couple of months now. Most of my time has been focused on cutting/turning blanks from square stock or lumber shorts/cut offs.

Most of the bowls are about 3" - 7" in dia. I finally located some green wood (American Elm) and have roughed out one "vase" and it is going through the DNA drying process.
I'll try posting a few close ups of some of the bowls.

And a platter...69457 (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=69457&stc=1&d=1186329296)
which I glued up from a piece of 3/4 lumber to start with a 1.5" blank.

Rob
