What’s on your lathe?

[Paul Paukstelis]

Continuing the exploration of cutting facets on this bit of sweetgum. Most of the easy sanding is done. I guess this will be a vase if I end up hollowing it..

Do you sell these, give away/donate to charities, or eat a lot of soup and cereal?

I do sell them on a small scale (enough to pay for my hobby) but I’m also a teacher nearing retirement so I’m stockpiling bowls and other turned items for future sales when I have more time for marketing/festivals… right now I just really enjoy the making and the refining of my work (though I do feel a little awkward at the sheer number of finished bowls I have on hand)

2 more blanks after I finish this one.

Almost there, 16 inch cherry blank I just prepped. Has a rotten void Im pretty sure will turn away. Had to recharge my little electric chainsaw three times to get this cut from the log.
