Had to turn out some mirrors very quickly to send to John C Campbell. Had fun doing them.

As always John, they look good! I especially like the one with what looks like black epoxy in the center.

I have a better one with epoxy but I had problems with bubbles and had to repair that one so it didn't get finished yet. I'll post it when I get around to finishing it.

beautiful signature work, John

I would know your mirrors anywhere.

I love the variety and that you don't make a lot alike (at one time).

Beautifully done -- both artistic and practical.

Beautiful work as always!

My name is Don and I'm a Turning addict. There, I finally can admit I have a problem. The problem is not enough time to turn! I work as a Medical Imaging Tech for a living but that's just so I can light and heat the shop and buy more tools. I've been turning since 2000 and it has changed my life. I never had a creative outlet before I discoverd Woodturning and now I can't get enough. After I turned my first pen, my wonderful wife saw how excited I was and bought me a mini lathe. She now refers to herself as a "Turning Widow". She is a potter and quilter so she understands the obsession. My interests in turning are many and varied and I'm sure I will not live long enough to try everything I'd like to, but I'll give it a shot. Unfortunately we don't have any children or pets so you'd think I have all kinds of free time to turn, but for some reason I don't. I belong to the Adirondack Woodturners Association in upstate New York, the Mohawk Valley Woodturners, the Old Country Guild of Woodturnes and AAW, as well as the Northeastern Woodworkers Association. (I'd also like to learn to do flatwork someday.) Happy and Safe Turning, Don

what size blank?

John K Jordan

Very nice! I'm saving that piece of walnut burl for you. Now I'm inspired to whack off some other burled and figured pieces. What size of blank do you generally start with for a 4" mirror? All I've made were 3"
