Good morning! Thank you for adding me to this forum! I'm excited to learn from everyone about woodturning! I live in Fort Worth Texas, self taught in woodturning using a mini lathe from Harbor Freight and currently looking into upgrading to a full size lathe. I work full time but also working toward starting a business on the side with my turnings and other areas of creating things with wood. I grew up with my father and grandfather doing wood working and a mother who is an artist, so I try to bring the two mediums together to create something unique. Still learning but improving as I go. I absolutely love woodturning and consider it my therapy! I not only do traditional styles, I've recently started my hand in segmented and basket illusion which I have found to really enhance the piece. I also carve and do pyrography on my turns, mainly experimenting as I go. The wood will tell me what to do. I really look forward to learning more and share my finished pieces. Here are just a few... Thank you again!
