Congratulations David, can't wait to see your first project on the monster
Beautiful platter, Kathy. The wood is spectacular and finish is flawless
Glad to hear it wasn't a catastrophe, David. Like Reeds idea about a homemade bandsaw!
Never seen that much character in Sycamore. Great piece, definitely a show stopper
Congrats David, quality motor with some serious power behind it. You may not want to get a catch with that, might flip you over the top of the lathe ;)
Gorgeous wood and the form is spot on.
Thank you all for your very kind comments. Sure is nice when the wood makes you look good :)
I met my neighbor the other day, come to find out he got a Jet mini lathe for Christmas and was trying to learn to turn. He came over last weekend with a big maple burl and we did some turning. It...
Beautiful Mike, Love the accent ring and collar
Beautiful area,
What part of NM?
Thanks for the advice and comments Dale, I'll put some thought into embellishing the cracks.
Between work, school and honey do lists I've not had a lot of time to turn. I've been "working" on this since December. Started from a freshly cut elm log. The form is 19" tall and about 10" in...
Spectacular Brian, beautiful wood and the leather is a great touch!
My Nichols is a D-9 Bulldozer with leather seats
Gorgeous Bob. The wood is incredible.
Bob,
I started getting nervous when the bark inclusion flew out, then called it quits when I got a fairly constant inside curve and I could see a little light through the infill. The bottom is...
Looks like a good time, Dennis. Can't beat turning out in nature! If that log is still wet, I'd give you chuck shot of WD-40 and put a plastic bag over the blank to keep it from cracking
I needed a turning fix this weekend, between yard work and bear watching I needed a break. So, I went out to my wood storage and saw this 12x12 piece of walnut I brought from NC in my wood survival...
Second cotton wood, have one in the back yard
This is the first project I've had time for in quite a while. Had 3 weeks off from night school and between work and doing landscaping for the Finance Minister, time has been short. This is a piece...
We had a lot of Holly up in Oregon, it's a fairly common landscape tree. Not sure if they do well that far south, being drier.
Love holly, it's what I use for finials. Get the bark off as soon as possible as I've been told, and seen, that is what causes the staining. BTW, my uncle lives in Upper Marboro with the same last...
I'll try and answer, clearly, all the questions...here goes.
Eric, the square stock is 1" thick. The business end might look something like this::D

I picked up two very wet elm logs from a fellow Nichols lathe owner at my wood turners guild meeting. Long have I been jealous of Steve S and his AB where he could throw a log up and turn away. So...
