Can I be a turner now? (pic)

>This is both my first turning, and a $2000 mallet. I'm sure you will understand that I consider $2000 to be a steal of a deal for this mallet seeing as I COULD have paid $30 for a better one at the store if I had been so foolish.

Comments and criticisms welcome....

>Nice mallet. You will smile every time you go to use that mallet. That smile you get is "priceless".

I look forward to see more of your work.

"Resize" your pictures. If you don't know how look around for how to resize in the photo editing program you have on your PC.

I have been turning wood for about 12 years now. I consume about 20 hours a week in front of the lathe making primarly bowls and platters. I keep thinking about making other "stuff" on the lathe, and ocasionaly I even get beyond the thinking part. But I take the most pleasure in bowls and platters. I have most every tool availble for the lathe but I am always looking for a new tool. More than looking for a new tool I am looking for a new hunk of wood. While a corner woodworker (sometimes called flat woodworker) can never have enough clamps, I find most woodturners can never have enough turning stock. The woodturning club I belong to has a Christmas party each year and part of that party is a "grab bag". We bring in a turning, that is judged by the people who come to the party. The people who make the top three turnings get prizes (like sandpaper or a tool). The real prize though is the exchange of turnings that comes from this colection of turnings. Some of my most cherished turned objects are the ones I have recieved from these grab bags.
