Hi Just joined AAW and the Forum for the wealth of info available to a new turner. I took 2 weeks of turning classes back in 2019 before Covid but never got around to buying a lathe and tools. Finally bought the lathe and tools this January 2025. The AAW site and this forum have been very helpful in helping me remember what I learned. This week I successfully turned a small walnut bowl that I had rough turned from green wood in April of 2019. It was so dry it didn't even measure any moisture content on my meter.

Welcome to the forum. You might also want to look for a local club for information and how to.
Yeah, I found my local club right after finding h this forum and it's been great.
