Hello, everyone. I have been wood-turning for about 12 years but only recently started perusing the internet for more information. My turnings have been mostly spindle turnings, balusters, stair-rails, pens (not too many of those to brag about).

I just recently took a bowl turning introductory course and I walked away knowing that I have so much more to learn.

I look forward to participating and learning from the more experienced members.
 
Welcome to the forum Raymond. You will find a lot of friendly help here from expert woodturners. I learn a lot just by reading the excellent threads on different topics. Happy turning.
