Thanks for the heads-up!

Very nice, John. What you can do with an ordinary looking piece of wood never ceases to amaze me!
Erin
Wow! That did turn out nicely. Makes me want to run out to the shop and start turning some of the blanks I have left. I really like red elm for its grain, and you've more than done it justice. ...
And that's a bad thing why?
Erin
Ha! Spinning in the kitchen - I love it!

Very nice - that willow has some really nice grain. Good to hear some comments about turning willow, 'cause I've got several blanks from a willow that was downed by a storm recently in a nearby...
You've definitely done that piece of walnut justice. Beautiful work - and a beautiful finish as well.
Erin
Oh. My. Goodness. Tyler, you are soooo busted!

Just make sure you have all your flat work done before you turn it on, because you may never get back to it! :D

I've got Curt's address, I'll get it out tomorrow afternoon or Saturday morning. Don't have a chance to get to the post office during the week.

Erin
I'll keep the ash.

:) I couldn't believe it lasted this long!

Now that is one bee-yoo-tee-full picture!
Erin
Thanks for the heads-up - I'll definitely mark that on my calendar!

That redwood burl sure is some pretty stuff - bet it won't be lonely too long. Whatever the "secret" finish is, it sure looks nice!
Erin
Can I still get in under the wire? I thought I'd have to sit this one out, but I scored some fresh-cut wood while out garage-saleing this morning. I'll take pics tomorrow after the camera batteries...
Actually, the technology has improved significantly over the last 15 years.

Wow, beautiful bowl - you've got way more talent at this than I do! Maybe I'll post my 17th . . . or my 36th . . . or however long it takes to make one as nice as that! ;)

Pictures, please.

Guys, thanks for all the nice comments. Can't wait till the weekend now so I can get out and play in the shop. Unfortunately my shop time during the week is severely limited.
Yes, it is fun...
