During shop clean up, I found some narrow strips of walnut from an old forgotten job. The were approx a quarter inch sq. by 10".  Since we are still under self quarantine, I have lots of time and decided to make a glue up using these strips and some maple & pine. It came out kinda nice.I made two of them and may turn the other one in the opposite direction. The oval is about inch and three quarters.

 I haven't been turning much lately and it is nice to get back where time has no meaning. It goes by so quickly when you are having fun.

Nice project . Now hollow it and make a ornament.

Turning a sphere would be definitely something fun to try.  It does look quite nice

 I don't know which direction I'll go with either of them yet. Sometimes when I let things set for a while and return, I get another idea in a different direction. Then there are times when I get that feeling " I shouldn't of done that" 

Love the patterns that emerge from the block when turned.

you continue to amaze...  very well done sir
