    Been a while. Latest turning...

    I have been on something of a "sabbatical" for the last couple of years as our "day job" has taken
    a lot of energy. But there have been a few minutes here have there to do some turning. This piece
    of claro walnut was a gift from John Keeton who sent it to me several years ago. I finally got around to making
    something from it. The lid is threaded, something I have been practicing lately...

    7.5" X 16"

    I've missed your posts, too. Lovely piece.
