I'm trying to submit this in the calendar section.
A nickel says I got it in the wrong place.
Sorry in advance

It looks nice. I've been trying to do something similar recently. I have to take a break though. They keep turning into missiles and smacking my hand. I had one that all I did is use my fingers, very lightly mind you, as a caliper and to see if I could feel tool marks, then BAM! The darn thing blew up on me. Scars to prove it now. That cut before must have been that famous one too many.

Live long, love lots, and turn fast.

Rick, that's very attractive. The 2011 calendar gallery will open in October-ish.

Thanks Brendan.
I posted a pic of this earlier in the year and I thought it might be calendar-worthy. I guess this picture is brought to you by the department of redundancy department.
And Robert, I learned the hard way to never check a spinning piece with my hand.
I alway shut down first.

Lovely Nick, looks like a Calender piece to me. Done any more since ??

Ruining lots of good wood to get a few average bits.
