Joining after some time off. I have been turning seriously for about 3-5 years. Senior moment here. Mostly pens but getting into other turnings to be displayed for sale at a local antique and craft mall. Had a good December, BTW. Remember, one good turn deserves another.

Welcome back, Gramps. How's the minor leaguer doing? Turned any bats lately?

Hello! Thanks for the warm and genuine welcome. Been a long time. Here is the story: Ryan went through the minors, ending with the Gwinnett Stripers, Braves AAA club. Moved to assistant batting coach with their development team. Just signed a two year contract to manage the Blue Jays A club in Dunedin, Florida, Dunedin Blue Jays.
Turned a little bat for his son, our first great-grandson.IMG_1399.JPG
