I was starting to run out of exotic wood blanks and decided to go slightly out of isolation and visit Woodcraft. It was a chance to get out and it was a very nice day. There were more sales people there than customers. As I was walking thru, I saw acrylic bottle stopper blanks with some neat designs in them. I don't really like turning acrylics much, it creates such a huge mess of plastic strings everywhere on and near the lathe. I got 3 and a nice piece of figured cedar. It was so figured that the sale guy asked if I was sure I wanted it. I think he thought it would be weak and would break easily. The picture is the first turning. It came out OK. I think it does look Christmasy. (Sort of) I can get two ornaments out of one blank. It also seem to me that prices have gone up again on tools, etc. It was nice to get out and enjoy looking at woodworking things again.
