>Was practicing with an outside slab of cedar from the burn pile and was surprised to find this cool spalting inside. Didn't know cedar would do that!

>LOL! I am not anywhere near satisfied with the bowl, but I love the spalting so I reckon it will be spared the burn pile. I wanted to go a little thinner,especially at the bottom, but I started hearing that little "snick...snick" that cedar makes when it is about to blow up so I quit while I was ahead!

>What a sneaky way to show a neat bowl. I like the form, the color and the great figure. Way to go, Carole. How can a guy catch up?

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.
