Something new...one of my spiral forms, this time in a half-circle. A work in progress, needs some sanding and a stand. This was turned only, no carving or off-lathe work.

Another cool piece with a high mystery factor on how it was done.

- - -

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

Thanks everyone! Barry, this involves combining multiple turnings. Yes Steve knows. Hi Don! George, I will be demonstrating this technique at the New Zealand International Symposium!

Excellent execution Kieth. We spoke about this piece when you were visiting/demoing and I was wondering how it would come out. Beautiful!
