The "Wow" just popped out of my mouth when I saw these.  Beyond words.

I still have a lot of learning to do. but isn't that the reason we work wood?

 

[FlGatorwood]

Yes.  The bigger part of the fun.

Very nice. I love that wood. I used to make pens with it. Looks great as a pepper mill.

Those are very nice and full of color. Your "Playing with the lathe" title pretty well sums up my activities.
