Jennifer's maple burl

Mike Schwing from Md.

>Today I'm getting around to things I should have done a long time ago. Jennifer Shirley sent me this in return for (and probably from) a box full of maple burl cutoffs that I sent to her. It is about 2.25" tall probably and is displayed on our mantle with works of other turner friends of mine, on of which will be in the next photo.

I would probably have burned the scraps I sent to her, and look what she did with them!

>Hi Mike,

Looks like you did very well. I may have to review my pile of wood and see what I can send to her, maybe I'll get lucky!!

Wonderful to the supportive community here, even though we are spread apart, seems like we all are neighbours.

Take care,

Jim

>You lucky dog! I have known Jennifer for many years and she's never sent me one of her great works. Of course I've never given her a load of nice wood. ;-)

Yup, Jennifer's work is beautiful. Enjoy it!

>Hey.....did I make that?

Mike that box of goodies you sent me was like a box of little gems! I pick over it all the time finding the perfect thing for collars and these little tiny doo-dads :)

I think I ended up with the better end of the deal on this trade!

Thanks again Mike.

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.

>Wow! Fantastic work Jennifer. From now on I will have to see what I can make with my scraps. And I will have to learn better tool control to make something so nice at such a small size. Great job
