    Well, right now it is stone with wood. Who knows, next week, next month? I've been working on a little box of cocobolo and soap stone for over a week. Haven't got it finished yet but learning a lot.

    Hmmmm... I love making lidded boxes, but my favorite thing to turn is fresh pear wood. I don't care what I'm making. I just love the ribbons and curls that come off of pear. Wet cherry is becoming a recent favorite thanks to Creeker kindness.

    Lidded boxes and mini birdhouses.

    Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
    To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funnybone.

    Nearly anything from a burl - as long as I can put a finial or pedestal with it! More in to hollow forms at this point.

    I enjoy the combination of spindle turning and bowl turning techniques.
