Hello from NE Michigan

[Gordon]

I recently retired from a career that required about 80% travel so there was never anytime for hobbies. Now that I have the time I built myself a small (12 x 24) wood shop to reintroduce myself to woodworking. 
I started making cutting boards, serving trays etc however turning on the lathe has become an addiction, I especially enjoy making bowls. The idea that a project starts with a trip to the woods instead of the lumberyard is a huge plus. 
I’m looking forward to learning more and exchanging ideas with everyone.

Welcome to The Patriot Woodworker Gordon. Happy you found us. Awesome group of people here.  Looking forward to seeing and hearing about your projects as well as what's happening in your neck of the woods. Very talented and helpful folks in our Woodturning Forum.  

 

Great pictures of your work. I love that serving tray. We do love pictures here. We also love donuts. Speaking of donuts, new guy always brings donuts. Your day is tomorrow. Just drop 'em off in the break room. I'll let everyone know when they're here.

Welcome to the forum. Good to see another turner. Nice tray, do you plan to use resins in some turning? It is a little more than I want to get into
