    Colabrative Piece

    This piece of Silver Poplar was given to me by Mark Cothren. When Travis stayed with me a week ago I asked him to turn it. So he did. He left the tenon so my part was to finish sand, turn the bottom and apply the finish. Measures about 4-1/2" dia. x 6" tall. Antique oil and buffed. Now as to who owns it, I say since it is in my possession, I do !!!!

    Well, seeing tht ownership is in doubt, I lay claim to it. IT'S MINE!

    Very nice piece. Mark must have too much wood. He sent me a few pieces and I finally got to turn it. VERY NICE WOOD. He's loaded with nice wood. Congrats on the pice.
    Be a mentor, it's so much more fun throwing someone else into the vortex, than swirling it alone!

    What's the saying, "Posession is 9/10ths of the law"? Yup, I'd say it's yours! Just lock it up next time Travis visits!

    Great job by both of you!

    Ed, thats a great idea !

    I'll tell you guys it is a treat just to watch Travis turn. You just set quietly and watch and learn.

    Thanks for the comments !
