Good evening, all-I just started turning last summer. Having come from restoring and rescaling old straight razors, I wanted to make some matching shaving brushes. So I spent most of the last 6 months learning spindle turning on shaving brush handles, duck call bodies, and dozens of pens. I'm now slowly learning to turn bowls. Fortunately, my son and neighbor are arborists, who regularly bring home interesting wood, so I've got plenty of turning stock.

I look forward to learning from and interacting with you experienced turners. Aaron
