Evenin' all. Pretty new to woodworking, and brand new here. Just my first post. I thought I'd post a pic of my first try at segmented turning. Still trying to figure out what this cool hobby is all about. I was taking a class in wood working and did a couple of mallets as my "intro to turning". They turned out ok and creating something from a blank of wood in something for the shop that looked ok was fun. So I picked up a Jet Mini and have been doing pens for friends (and strangers).

I wanted a challenge and found some cool pics with google search and liked the look. Tried to do one. Made the stand out of some of the scrap from the torus.

By the way, are images still limited to 107k?

Thanks,
Steve
