    Mike,
    Very nice, I like them both, particulary the one you "carved" (for lack of a better word to describe it). Did you do that after or before you turned it?

    walt, just keep asking questions & turning!

    walt, i made a small screw-on wood chuck for my mini-lathe, and used double sided-tape (turner's tape, whatever) to hold the pendant to that. turned to shape, then remounted and drilled hole with a drill bit in tailstock. then used an oscillating sander to shape the one pendant (3 wheeled that one, need to polish the other). have been thinking of using some sort of 'double jamb chuck' to allow me to turn both sides convex, so they aren't flat on one side. experiments & photos to come. walt, you will learn fast, i'm sure - i knew next to nothing 2 years or so ago when i started turning, and couldn't even spell wood turner - thanks to the Creek, now i are one. mike
