A couple of turnings

looks like fun

These are very nice pieces and I enjoy the story behind them. You are preserving a piece of your personal history by using the burls from your childhood home. Obviously your parents knew exactly what to give you for Christmas.

Thanks for sharing.

oh wow… how long have you been turning?

About a month….

I have had the lathe for a while, but no tools. I just periodically put a piece of lumber on the face plate and watched it go around.

Now I’m hooked. And for the first time ever, all of my files & rasps have handles.

The last wind storm took down some nice old trees, so my friends & clients have amassed a collection of Manitoba maple & Hard maple burls. It’s kind of neat for every piece to have a story.

Nice turnings, period. Then add that you have only been turning about a month and Wowzer!

Nice turnings.
