Haven't done a lot turning lately but with colder weather here I'm getting back in the shop. Our oldest grand daughter just bought her first house, a recent IU grad she is working in quality control as a chemist for Eco Lab.(first gloat) Someone told me she is decorating with mushrooms so I made her a a group of three. Other ladies in our family thought they might should have some too. So, I did a bunch. These are all from sycamore limbs trees dropped in our yard. Sycamores are so generous that way. These will be stocking stuffers for Christmas. 2nd gloat, completely unrelated. We found out last night another grand daughter has been awarded the Eli Lilly scholarship for academic achievement in our area. Basically a full ride wherever she wants to go.

One of my sons-in-law has asked for "a good hammer" for a Christmas present. He does a lot of home remodeling and carpentry project (not so much cabinetmaking). I don't want to be spending $100+ for a titanium luxury hammer. "Something to hammer in and pull out nails," was his request. Force = mass x acceleration, you know. Most of my hammers I've had for 30 or 40 years and many of them are older than that, so I'm not current on the market. Any likes or dislikes with the brands out there? I have a 16 oz leather handle Estwing that I like but heard once some carpentry foremen won't allow them on the job (why, I don't know). I have a couple of Hart Framers and they seem to be pretty good, but I don't do a lot of rough carpentry. Before I this request I was walking out of a Lowe's and amazed there were 30 or so different hammers in their hammer section. Really? Edit: Home Depot has at least 106 hammers available online.
