Science teacher in Boulder, CO. Started turning about 10 years ago, but had a traumatic brain injury 9 years ago and couldn’t do it for many years. Recovered enough now and getting back into it the last couple months. Much to remember.
 
Welcome, Peter. We like pictures. :)
Thanks! Here’s a bowl I just finished. Largest I’ve made. 8.25”. Piece of maple I picked up in Amana at Handworks. Just got a larger set of jaws and a talon chuck from lee Valley last night so I could turn the inside. I’ll probably auction it at a fundraiser for my school. I usually forget to take pictures. Thanks for the reminder.
