    First Post ... Hi

    Hi Everyone .. My name is Shane. Neal Addy sent me a link to this site and after lurking for a while I decided to join in the fun. Looks like a very active forum and I see some amazing pieces being posted ... I hope to learn a lot.

    Here's a few pics of my turnings ... if I can figure out how to post a pic, they are not showing up in the preview.

    Pic 1:Box Elder Burl Hollow Forms .. I love turning Box Elder Burl

    Pic 2: Box Elder Burl Vase

    Pic 3: Box Elder Burl Bowl and HF .. hf is about 1 1/2" tall

    Pic 4: Full sized Hat, I wear it daily, turned out of a gnarly piece of Cottonwood. Beads are turned out of Box Elder.

    Pic 5: Elm Burl Hollow Form on a ped. 10" wide, 17" tall. I just finished this one today. I am weak on my spindle turning and I don't really care for these to much. They are not glued yet so I can turn some new ones after more practice.

    More of my turnings can be seen HERE
    Thanks for viewing and comment/critiques are always welcome,
    Shane

    Shane...........Welcome to the Creek!

    I think WE will learn something from you! Nice projects. Your spindle work doesn't look bad......But HFs like that IMHO take a special spindle form and finding the form for a particular HF can be interesting. Also...beauty is in the eye of the beholder I've been told and I agree! So what looks good to me may not look good to others.....

    Welcome to the Creek!
    Ken

    So much to learn, so little time.....

    Shane first off welcome. From the looks of your sight I think I will be doing some learning from you. Those are some beautiful turnings. You must really keep a eye on that Addy fellow. Keep him in line.
