Hi
I'm Jim from Ogden Utah. I've been turning pens for a year now, I also enjoy turning bowls and small dishes. Made a few cutting boards as well.
About a year ago I acquired a 10x20 foot shed that I've been turning into a small shop, wish I would have gone wider then 10 feet, and since then I have been building shop furniture, reorganizing, readjusting when I add something new and turning.

Welcome to IAP. What is the wood used for the pen, bowl and platter? Interested in the grain and color.

The pen is Bocote, the bowl is Mountain Mahogany.

The other pic is the bottom of the bowl notice the bullet I glued into the bottom of the bowl? Cut the piece of firewood in half right were the bullet was, removed the bullet, turned the bowl and glued the bullet back in place were I found it.

Thanks for the welcome everyone
