Hi all. Sheesh, I've been gone a long time. But ya know...sometimes life just kicks you in the stomach. But we recover and move on hopefully.
So I'm back. Sorry about that

During my absence, I did continue to turn any time I could. So I'll post a couple pics of some of it. Basically trying to improve my style and lock into something that was uniquely me.
Lot's of lacquer consumed in the process (hic!....excuse me )

So I was feelin' kinda low and decided to concentrate on a project. I decided to enter a piece at the County Fair.
Ended up with this Oak Burl, Walnut, and Cherry thing on a pedestal. I named it A Fair Piece. Won first place. It felt good.

Here's a better picture of the body...Just better color

And I continued to work on pieces as I had time....these are the basic theme.

I actually sold the one in the middle. I called it The Hershey Kiss cuz of that little walnut kiss in the center
It felt good that someone was willing to part with hard-earned dough for it.

Anyway...I wasn't really writing today to show off my work. Just wanted to say Hi....I kinda miss it around here.
