Bob,
Tell me something. Why do you only post pics but never share your techniques or knowledge? This forum is supposed to be about helping each other. It seems your more interested in accolades than participation.
Chuck,I'm sorry I am no expert.I have been only turning for 2 1/2 to 3 years and self-taught. My knowledge is not that much and I don't feel that I have any techniques out of the ordinary.I'm just having fun with the lathe...And I see your gallery looks a lot like mine...... Just posting pictures and explaining what kind of wood and how it was finished.....
It's the wood that makes it good
