Very nice, Matthew!

Took me a few months to turn something that nice.

Cheers for the comments guys, I think I'm getting seriously addicted to this turning lark.

I dont feel 100% happy with them as I can notice small imperfections but I just need more practice.

Addicting it is indeed Matthew!!! If you are like me, and I think a lot of folks on here, you will never be 100% happy with your turnings. The main thing is to keep striving forward, practicing and working on fixing those things that need fixing. You're doing a great job so far!
