I agree with Reed and Bernie on the Sugar Maple

John, I too enjoy seeing your postings, they are an inspiration to us all. I especially admire the honest opinions that you offer people about their pieces. The only way that someone can improve...

Those really look good, Jim.....I've had the pleasure of getting to turn a few cabinet related pieces during the workday myself. Nothing like firing up the lathe in the middle of the afternoon {:O)

Baxter, I forgot to say that it only takes about 3 or 4 oz.s per small to normal sized blank.

Thanks all for the comments. My process is very simple, and Michael, it definitely doesn't involve "um voiding" on it.
I first rough out the blanks leaving them thick enough to re-turn.
Then I...

Here's a little maple piece I turned the other day. It's 3 1/4 tall by 4 3/8 across with 3/16 thick walls and bottom. I've been experimenting with different spalting methods since the summer and...

My son Max, was asked by Easy Wood Tools owner Craig Jackson, to demo with him at this years Turning Southern Style Symposium in Helen, Ga. We started the day off with Max presenting Craig with a few...

Richard, I was wondering if anyone was going to ask those questions. You win the grand prize, which is to be supplied by Steve Schlumpf:confused::eek:. Anyway, I bagged it, let it set in the corner...

Thanks everyone, I usually don't pick one piece over another, but I was extremely pleased with the Grumbine-inspired turning. I saw a larger cherry one that he had brought to the symposium a year ago...

For the summer, that is. My 14 yr old son, Max, took a break from my very hot shop to do what kids like to do. (Mostly swimming for him). 161383161384He got back in the shop about 2 weeks ago and...
