I think It's perfect the way it is. The form is true to Southwest design, and colors contrast just enough. Very nice work.

I'd like to share a link of a video of David Marks and his shop/studio that I just watched. I've been a fan of Marks for some time and really enjoyed this video. His discussion of boiling wood...
One of the best looking segmented turnings I've seen Robert. The form is perfect, the wood choices just right. Well done.
Most unique birdhouse I've seen Jim. Outstanding job, I'm sure you're proud of this one.
Hi Robert. I have the Nova DVRxp, and bought it primarily for two reasons. One, it did not come with a stand, and I didn't want one as I mount my lathe on a 5' beech work bench, and Two, It has the...
I rented a 10 X 15 unit at A Storage Inn 2 yrs ago to store logs and all my flat boards. Cost is about $800/yr, but it was that or nothing, because I have zero room for storage here at home.
My, you do stay busy at the lathe Leo. I admire your productivity. The beauty in this wood really shows up when you enlarge the pictures. It's hard to beat spalted maple. Very nice turning.
Really beautiful wood, and the form looks just right. Nice work Steve.
The flakes can take 24 hrs or more to completely dissolve Hilel. Warming can help, as can a periodic stirring. All that being said, I do think the flakes will loose their ability to dissolve over...
I have the Oneway that came with 2 sizes of cones, and I like it a lot. I use it every day with no problems. I suspect the Nova is fine, but don't have first hand experience. You probably will get...
Matt, like you, I turn the tenon off after the body form is finished and sanded. Then I sand the base on the drill press with a soft sanding pad. I like a slight depression on the bottom instead of a...
Wow, what gorgeous wood! I like the bowl form, and the piercing embellishment really makes it special. Very nice job Wayne.
This one is great Bob. I love the profile design, and the inlay really sets off the rim. Nice job.
That is outstanding Steve. A beautiful piece of wood, and unique platter design.
I love mine. I use it with Vince's sanding discs and it works great. It's a bit of an air hog, keeps my 60 gal compressor cycling every couple of minutes.
First class work Curt. Must have been very satisfying to turn the finial! Nicely done.
Has a Southwestern flair in my opinion. Beautiful Mike. The black edge really defines the opening. Nice work!
Absolutely beautiful Keith. I love everything about this, including the dark rich grain. Very, very nice work!
Nice David. I like the rim bead, and the spalting gives the bowl loads of character.
I like this a lot Mike. The dye looks like paint - I don't see any grain showing through. What wood did you use?
I am moving my lathe shop to a newly vacated area in my garage from the basement, and have a question regarding the DVR. Have any of you removed the headstock motor from the bed rail? Is it any more...
Fantastic Steve! The dye sets this piece apart, and as usual, your form and shape is great. Very nice job.
Very pleasing Mike. You kept a perfect bark edge all around - something I have a bit of trouble doing. Nice work.
Very nice Steve. I like that you call it a popcorn bowl - perfect for a great looking bowl.
Beautiful Bill. I love the way maple will often reveal "flaws" that can set off an otherwise plain wood. Very nice form and finish. When you burn in the oil on the lathe, are you applying the oil on...
