I have been busy(picture heavy)

[Josh Reid]

These are some of the projects that have kept me busy the last few weeks. My girlfriends family cut down a horse chestnut tree that I was able to get a hold of and cut quite a few bowl blanks and pen blanks out of. It is beautiful wood and highly figured. I am thinking about doing a classified post to sell off some of the pen blanks if there is any interest. Perfect wood for stabilizing and dying or just using with a CA finish. PM me if there is interest and I will get something going.

Nice group of items requiring different skill sets. Well done. This could be a pictorial on what beginning turners can work on to improve their skills.

The owl is a hoot, BTW :biggrin::wink::biggrin:.

They all look great and well finished. Like most the bowl with the inlay and the lidded boxes, very pretty. Great job!
