Our Patriot Turners-

@Masonsailor has been cranking out a wide variety of Christmas presents. He showed us some of what he had started for last week's "Wednesday's...". Paul has added several more images of his turnings as a continuation to that post-

Have a look at the other beautiful turnings Paul has completed!

 

 

@forty_caliber has a bunch of turning blanks all sealed up and awaiting their turn on the lathe!

Forty also showed us the results of a bowl he started a little while back. The color is fantastic!

Check out where it all started-

 

He also posted a quick update on a Pecan bowl he is roughing out. Really nice shape-

Rusty got lots of great comments and answered some questions in this post-

 

 

Rusty's Mrs. really keeps him busy cranking out presents (I know the feeling) and this one is a winner-

Rusty explains more in his post-

 

 

@PostalTom completed the chess set for his grandson. This will surely become a family heirloom. Tom explains there were a lot of "firsts" in this project-
