Steve,
Thanks for your response. Jeans and t-shirt are my usual wear, but will check the closet for a better shirt. Have no museum/artistic quality stuff to show. Just a few pieces to show my learning curve and maybe encourage someone else. Would these be appropriate?
Bill,
Thanks also. Seems like my wife just wants to get my hermit butt off the property for a few days, every five or six years. She seems interested in the stuff for spouses but refuses to come with me this time. Maybe next year. Meanwhile, surely someone from Newfoundland or New Zealand will want a couple chunks of oak. And I would certainly be interested in a piece of super hard Bois D'Arc. My homemade tools with cobalt-enhanced tool bits will cut steel. Have rough-turned two 14" dia. bowls (and two smaller ones) from the oak, and am worn out, pooped. Coated the outside with thin layer of paraffin, filled the inside with moist shavings, hope they will dry ok and I will live long enough to finish turn them.
