Hi all--
I'm been lurking for a while, thought it might be time to say Hi. All the talent and creativity on here is very inspiring. I've only had my lathe for a couple months, but I'm on it as often as possible. I work days doing home renovation/carpentry. Most of my lumber comes from chasing chainsaws when I hear them start near my worksites. I also have salvaged a fair bit from our firewood pile. I'm attaching some pictures and welcome any input or advise. So far I'm self taught, but hope to find some time for a class this summer.IMG_3862.jpg
