    That's one of my Dad's favorite sayings

    Yep, I'm having fun, I'm going to sneak down into the Dungeon again and make more of a mess!

  8. Two More!


    One log, two blanks, two rough outs.


    These are both Sakura, some really nice figure and stuff going on.


    The trees were bug infested and were dying from the bottom up,
    In this pic, the one on the right, on the lower corner, has some punky wood,
    that I'm going to have to hit with some CA glue.


    Both of them are about 17 cm across. (6 3/4").

    Cheers!

    Way to go Stu. That’s what I’ve been waiting to see. I know once you got the correct tools you feel the last blow and tumble head first over the edge. That first bowl is a great high and it keeps getting better and you do! Keep up the good work and turn ANYTHING you can get chucked up! I can’t wait you see more.
    I know you said its hard to get Large wood over there so maybe you should look at doing some glue up stuff. It take a little time to get ready but you can put together what ever you want, and in some cases cheaper the solid stock. But for the time being just make shavings!

    Stu those look very good. You are right on track congratulations. I wish I could have had a video like Bill Grumbine's when I first started turning. Thanks for the update pictures.
