Yup...after months of not turning, I finally got back on the lathe. Unfortunately...it's about the only tool that's operational right now. But, I left it hooked up just for this occasion. This is the Dunno Wood from Jeff Horton. After looking closely, I think it might be sycamore...but that's just a guess. It's 6" in diameter and 3.5" high....sealed with Behlen's Woodturner Finish then Spray Lacquer. It's a holiday so I sprayed with my mask off. (hic)
All in all...a wonderful day.

Very nice, John. What you can do with an ordinary looking piece of wood never ceases to amaze me!
