Long time no turn but now...
Alan Tolchinsky
>Hi All, I haven't turned for a long while and really missed it. Being a new woodworker I forced myself to stop turning a do more flat work. So now that I paid my dues I've started turning again. I couldn't resist the dark force for long. :) Here's a piece of spalted maple Mike Schwing gave me long ago. Thanks Mike. Alan in Md.

>I think this is spalted maple but Mike gave it to me so long ago I'm not positive. It's 5"W x 2 3/4" tall and I finished with friction polish. Thanks for looking.
Dang, I gave you that!

>Alan, I was thinking of you last week and wondering if you'd ever get to turning again. No joke!
If I'd have known that piece of wood was going to turn into something that nice....
Nice work, glad to see you over here again.

>Yep, you gave me that and some cherry too that I'm turning now. It must be something telepathic between us that got me turning again butI have to thank you for getting me started again. All the while I was doing other woodworking I was always thinking of turning. Man, your work has really progressed; it looks like you're having a lot of fun on your monster lathe. Alan
