So I mentioned in an earlier post that I had been busy in the shop finishing up some projects, but hadn’t quite gotten around to updating the website.  Looks like today’s as good a day as any to get that taken care of.  In no particular order, here’s the latest:

I’ve been going through a stash of blanks that I made last fall, doing the final turning.  The first several are all from an ash tree that came from a daughter’s, friend’s, mother’s, house.  This one is about 9″ across, so at least it’s functional.

Another one from the same tree.  I was planning on leaving a wide rim on this one, so I had room to inlay some kind of epoxy putty design, but the rough out warped so bad by the time I could get it back on the lathe, the rim came out pretty thin.  I was afraid that if I cut into it to make a channel to hold the epoxy, it would be too brittle to use.  Lesson learned!

This is yet another bowl from the same ash tree.  The only redeeming thing that makes this one even a little interesting is that it’s about 11 1/2″ across, so it’s more usable.
