>Here's a quick pic of my latest: 5"tall x23"dia.

I got a bunch of stair treads somebody gave me years ago, finally decided to do something with 'em. They're wierd: engineered plywood, each ply totally clear, no knots, no voids, no "boats", like Baltic Birch only all different species and thick plys' like 1/8" each. They were spiral stair treads, made to have the edges showing, each tread 1-5/16" thick.

Anyway, nasty stuff to turn, but pleased with the results.

Hello Everybody! I figure I've been hanging around WoodCentral for a few years now so I might as well officially post a Bio. I'm Jennifer and I reside in the heart of the Midwest in Indianapolis. You'll usually find me hanging out on the turning side of WoodCentral, but I check the Main forum too. I started woodworking about 25 years ago mostly interested in flatwork; small furniture and other items to use around the home. Then I discovered the lathe and became obsessed with it. I've been turning for about 23 years now. My love and excitement for turning has taken me into the world of teaching and frequent demonstrating. Lots of experimenting with textures, color, burning over the past several years. I've recently begun dabbling in metal clay work and have started incorporating it in to my turnings too. It's another toolbox full of toys! When I'm not turning, I'm hanging out with the love of my life and most honest critic, my husband Clay. In order to keep the lathe spinning and the lights on I spend the other part of my day at an ABC television station directing the evening newscasts.

>The first one was nice, this picture is breath taking. I really enjoy 'simple' forms the most and you got yourself a nice find with that wood, too.
