Just checked out the window are we are experiencing a beautiful sunset. Weather is supposed to go south tomorrow.

 

It's been a great week here at the Patriot Woodworker. Lots of discussions and projects. Our turners have been producing some beautiful pieces!!

 

Ron made a couple of seam rippers from some leftover ornament scraps

 

Check out his post. He even tells us where to get a good deal on the metal rippers-

 

 

Gerald posted a couple of beautiful winged bowls he turned

 

Here is a link to the complete post and additionals images-

In addition to those gorgeous turnings, Gerald also added several new bowl images to his Patriot Album. Check them out here-
