I've been hesitant to show my work because I think they pale next to some of the great projects I've seen posted here. But here goes.

John - those are some good looking pieces! Welcome to the vortex, have fun with your turning and remember that we like lots of pictures!

Make sure you hit Pete up for some one-on-one time as it will save you a lot in the learning curve!

John,
Nothing there to be ashamed of. I like all your items. The bowl has a great curve to it and your hollowing out was better than some of my first. The stoppers and key chain both look great and the pen, well, you're already turning Antler and adding beads to it? Now that's bragging material.

Tony how did you post the pics direct on the sight? Thanks for the help.

When you post there is a picture icon that is the fourth from the right. You hit that icon and up pops a window where it asked for the URL of your image. You just copy the URL of your picture into that window and presto - your picture appears.

Someone had to explain it to me too. :)

The pictures of these pieces show you have gotten both your feet in. Look forward to more pictures.
