It was not the most advanced or technical but for me it was the most difficult. It is a grave marker for my shop buddy of 16yrs. If I was in the shop he was under my feet, if I was working on the car he was laying in the oil. I know to many people he was just a dog, but to me this week we lost a family member.
This piece of walnut was purchased with another project in mind that I hoped to show here but I thought this was a better use.
Sorry if this is not the type of project that belongs here but I wanted to show someone.

I purchased my first lathe a few months ago and started to try and learn how to use it. I had no turning experience so I figured that the firewood pile would be a good place to start.
The lathe is a vintage craftsman bench top model so with some scraps and some cheap tools
this is some of my first ever turnings. Not much of a project to show off but it’s the only things I have taken pictures of.
