Our Patriot Turners-

@Ron Altier turned a sweet little cup for his Mrs. He glued up several species to create a really neat pattern.

 

Checkout more in Ron's post-

 

 

@RustyFN Is continuing to work on his vase. He now has the blank completely glued and ready to turn-

 

Rusty gives more information in his ongoing posts-

 

 

@Pauley turned nature's surprise into a thing of beauty. His red oak bowl developed cracks during drying but Pauley used that to add to the beauty of the turning.

 

Pauley got loads of positive comments in his post-

Expand Your Horizons-

This past week, I was introduced to a website for turners that showcases a wide variety of turning styles, abilities and subjects. It is free to join and seems pretty easy to navigate.

New Turning Items-

Sorry, couldn't come up with anything new this week.

 

 

Everything Else-

Carl Jacobson makes a cute little project. Reminded me of the late 1960's (what I can remember of it).

 

 

Safe turning

 

Thanks for the post Lew. I have kinda gotten into mushrooms lately

Thanks Lew.  A few more videos to watch.  Soon I hope.

Well once I get home after visiting Dad, I see I have more videos to watch.  Good, another scorcher set for today.  Think I will wait it out a bit.

Sorry, just got a free moment to get back here-

 

@Gerald Thank You! By getting into mushrooms I assume you mean turning- not eating 

 

@HandyDan Thanks!

 

@Woodbutcherbynight Thank You! Finally cooled off here.

Gerald, how was the high?  Were they tasty?  I know, just kidding.  What of making them of wood and simply painting them white.  Not nearly as interesting, but you wouldn't have the expense of buying the sea biscuits.  

Maybe we could get Gene to send us some mesquite.

Thanks @lew, good stuff!

@Jim from Easy Wood Tools Thank You!
