Introducing myself here. I've been turning for a few years still learning everyday. I stated with a little ShopFox benchtop model then found an old PM3520 to play with. My shop is small and packed with tools but i manage to turn out some ok pieces. Getting into hollow vessels recently. Just looking to learn and grow in the hobby. 20240729_081358.jpg20231108_160959.jpg20240709_070007.jpg20240729_081102.jpg
 
Welcome to the forum. I see you like bark which can be both rewarding and a disappointment.
I like the wood as it is our more to the point what it will give me. Sometimes bark, sometimes no bark. Leaving it out planning to leave it brings greater challenges i think so forces me to get better to ensure it looks good too.
