John K Jordan likes my galaxy mirrors and I had been planning to make him one. When I found out he was coming over for the eclipse viewing well I had to make him this one.

Out of this World!

- - -

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

I spent a few more minutes today redoing the photo so the real colors come through better. Hope it shows up on WC.

I'm trying to make out what is going on the handle

Is that Merlin or JKJ in his wizard robe portrait there?

Nice, I like it.

Outstanding job John. Having just watched the eclipise here in Knoxville, you did a wonderful job capturing the moment. Hopefully get to see it this month at the meeting.
