Hello and thanks for having me. I have been turning ( Learning) for about 4 months now. I bought a used Oneway lathe model 1236. I am forunate to belong to a local woodworking club that has many wood turners willing to share their knolwadge. All of my practice bowls have been made from kiln dried lumber. I am looking forward to getting into turning green wood and maybe some segmented work down the road.
I live in Charlotte, Michigan.

Thank you for the warm welcome.
Here is a small walnut bowl with inlay banding. It measures 2" high and 5" in diameter. The banding is made of maple and walnut.

Hi Keith, welcome to the forum! That bowl is really nice! How did you do the inlay band? If you don’t mind sharing.

Hello Michael, Happy to share. I made the banding and it's about 1/6" thick. You can buy banding but it's much thinner and limited in available patterns. I used a parting tool to cut a groove in the bowl, just slightly deeper than the thickness of the banding. Where the two ends meet I used a scarf joint. To glue the banding in place I used a piece of small of rope wrapped arount the banding. To tighten the rope and put pressure on the banding, I used a screw driver and twisted the rope. Think tourniquet. When the glue is dry I sanded the banding flush. Here's another bowl I did. Keith
