and 4th non pen. This is about as big as I can go since I only have a HF mini lathe.

Pro tip don't pick ash as your first BSO. :)

Nice BSO... ain't it fun to turn something besides pens??:biggrin:

Ash is a nice wood to turn, not a lot of figure in it, but nice nonetheless...
I recently picked up most of a whole tree that the wind blew across a local road down by the river... I got about 15 pieces, one of which I just noticed is crushed from where it hit the pavement, so it's gonna be firewood... I've turned one log so far and got 4 bowls from it... no pictures yet, still working on the finish, but will post as soon as it's dry.
