...with our pieces? I find that I really like my pieces as they come off the lathe and I finish them. But then I very often I find I am no longer happy with a piece with which I was initially quite pleased. For sure some of this is that as we get more skilled we see the problems with our earlier efforts. But this can happen with me very quickly (so my skill hasn't improved enough for me to feel that I could do substantially better). I think sometimes it is because I am relieved/pleased that the piece has turned out relatively well when it is finished, and then a few weeks later I don't remember all of the effort and everything that I might have screwed up, and I focus on the things I don't like about it as opposed to the successes/pleasure I had producing it. Dunno, but it's one of the more difficult aspects of the hobby. Curious if this is my own craziness or if others feel this way...
