2nd question is what finish do you use on your bowls? Thanks William

WOW!!! Simple amazing...I really love your turnings and can't wait to see what you turn next! What are the sizes of each as it's difficult to determine from the photos...your finishes really make each turning POP so you are obviously an experienced turner... Maybe one of these days I'll be where you are! Thanks sooo much for sharing and safe turning to you always!

Hey Phil!!

Nice work and good to see you back!!

Hello, back to you ed, it's good to see you on line here. Thanks for welcome again. I've been busy with lots of family affairs and death and illnesses. And, today again back in the emergency room with my Mother-in-law. Just got home a little while ago. I have neglected getting into doing some pens due to the cost of nice kits, however, I think I need to get in there and make some pens soon. thanks for the compliment. In the middle of all the event I escaped here and there to dabble with what I had on hand and made some half decent stuff, and learned a lot in the interim. I hope some of you pros would like what you see.

Kenn, in time you will, just take it easy and enjoy while you are turning and don't rush trying to do hard stuff. As you progress through your work you'll see that you will start creating things that you'll enjoy. In your public profile it says you are retired so whenever you get chance and Honey due list is small get in the shop and try your hands at things that you think you can do and then let your creativity flow. don't worry about what you are making at first since you need to practice your cuts and then pick up shapes next. Hope to see your turnings soon.
