    Do you ever see strange things...

    In your turning projects? Today I found this man looking over his shoulder at me as I was rubbing some wax on this, my first, confetti light.

    Yeah, sometimes, but usually I find out later that the tequila is missing, too.

    Not since getting old and losing visual acuity!! I noticed the pig snout right off - maybe the acuity is better on the computer!

    Nice job, Jeremy, and very nice burl!

    This one was kind of eerie for me. I didn't even notice until I was finishing it.

    A year ago Lauren and I booked a private class with Bill Grumbine.
    She and I were taking turns working on bowl from an ambrosia maple blank we brought with us.

    Lauren was quite excited when this "Modigliani" face emerged inside the bowl.

    Depends on how much I've been drinking...but yeah!

    I figured out what your thread was going to be about before I read what you saw in your turning, and saw the exact same thing...funny how he jumps out at ya.
    I drink, therefore I am.

    I all ways thought it was my artist imagination, until my wife told me to dial the med's back.

    some times my mind wanders, some time it completely leaves me
