Feels good to be turning again.

I haven't had much time to turn, or do much of anything, since moving from Alaska to Florida and having our second child. However, I got some free wood the other day and decided to spend some time on the lathe.

These two are Alaskan Birch that I roughed in Alaska 2 years ago, finally finished.

Long Leaf Pine. I really like the Natural Edged one.

Several White Cedar bowls. Awesome character!

These two were made out of a 5" diameter White Cedar limb. They're a nesting set.

Finally a White Cedar Goblet. Not sure I really like it.

Felt good to spend some time in he garage making stuff again. It's my happy place I guess.

Very cool. I've watched my father and grandfather turn wood on a lathe but I've never done it myself. I've always wanted to see a bowl turned just to see how it's done.

Nice work!

That's good work there. Be on the lookout for moisture problems.

Nice!

Beautiful work! I do quite a bit of turning as related to furniture making and repair (mostly spindles,bun feet etc.). Have not tried bowl turning but I just might have to after seeing these!

Nice looking work. I haven't been doing much wood working myself since its been so cold here.

That is incredible, I really like the bowl with the natural edging as well. You clearly have an eye for bringing out the character and beauty of the wood.

Major kudos!

Those are some really nice pieces. I've seen turnings done, but never attempted to try my hand at it. Just gorgeous.

There is a season (turn, turn)
