Very nice Cher,

There’s nothing wrong with Pine, I think any kind of wood is good for woodturning.

great start…....I soooo want to get into turning. I keep looking at equipment but just not ready to pull the trigger. Keep it up, it is inspiring.

You are coming along splendidly, Cher! As a matter of fact, I have not turned any lidded boxes yet, so you have passed me up. :-)

That’s beyond practise level, modest Cher! No excuse to hide the expensive stuff any longer. Wish you were closer so I could give you some Candlewood to turn…that will blow your mind….nothing wrong with Pine, its wood and I use it all the time…

Wow you’re coming along very nicely we all had to start out with something this is very well done for a relative beginner.Alistair

Cher,

You are starting off great. Get a sharpening setup quick though. You will dull your tools very fast, and that can be dangerous… ANyway, sharp tools are a LOT more fun to use! I like watching the ribbons fly by so much I kind of lose track of where I am on the work piece… Ooops…

Your piece on the left, if the hollow in the top were a little deeper, it would look like a stand for a boiled egg… Very interesting looking stuff…

As Div said ” That’s beyond practise level….” . You can repeat it with better timber and finish. From now on you will feel the woodturning addiction. Triple A.

Lovely work Cher. If this is practice, I can only imagine what you would do if you were serious :)

Thank you for sharing your progress,

David
