Greetings from Lake City, Florida, US

[Jwollitz]

Greetings folks,
Thank you for accepting me. I have been turning for a few years now since retiring. I turn pens, bowls, and Christmas ornaments and an occasional turkey call. It is interesting to see what others are doing, and I'm awed by some of the great work that I see.
Wishing you all the best,
Jim

Welcome from Montana Jim. So I gotta ask. Do you turn the hollow inside out Christmas ornaments? I've tried with not such good luck. Can you recommend a book or site that might explain it better than what I've already read. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you ever do let me know your secret. I've got a really good customer, used to be before Covid 19, that's been asking for them.
My name is actually Tom but you can call me what ever you want as long as you share the info . I won't tell you what my wife calls me, but it sure ain't Tom...or Jim or Bob or Joe. Thanks for the reply.
