Thank you for the add. I've just retired a year ago and this past summer have take up wood turning. Was gifted an old shopsmith lathe and since them picked up a Rikon 70-105 and recently a Powermatic 2014. Along with woodturning, this has come in handy with my laser engraving hobby. Looking forward to improving my skills and learning as much as I can. Attached are a few things I've turned.

Welcome. Thanks for sharing your work, you're well on your way. I'll provide my unsolicited advice, again, to folks joining the forum.
1. Join a local club. it looks like there is a club in Akron.
Buckeye Woodworkers and Turners
Website: https://www.bwwt.us
I belong to three clubs and consider every one of them a good investment.
2. Get professional instruction. There are a lot of things going on when you're woodturning and climbing the learning cliff alone is difficult. Some of the videos on the internet are of dubious quality, but it difficult to know that when you are starting out. Instructors and mentors can provide that base of knowledge you need to be safe and successful.
