Hi all-
I was just getting addicted to turning about a year ago, when I was forced by various reasons (logistics, health, etc.) to give it up for a while. I got back to turning a few weeks ago, and started back slow by turning a bunch of pens for x-mas gifts. Today I was able to get the first coat of finish on my second ever HF. It is from a mesquite crotch I found in the firewood pile, and is 5.5" high x 7" wide, with a 1.5" hole and 1/4" thick walls. As soon as I get time, I need to make a donut chuck so I can turn off the tennon and make a nice foot for it.
