I haven't posted any work in a while, I figured I'd show you what I've been up to lately. These were the last three pieces of my old 1236 lathe

Beautiful work, Ron!

In the copier industry, we call that Operator Error!!

Ditto, great work, Ron.

Did you make the jig for the rose or is that commercially available?
 
Thanks All

Cav, we must have different models then.

Ed, I designed the rose on paper first. I have a few more floral designs ready to try out.

(between you and me, I'm glad you knew it was a rose, my daughters where telling me it doesn't look at all like a rose. What do they know!)
 
Hey Ron,

Just tell them, "a rose by any other name............"(you got the drift)

For ME that's advanced art (and out of MY league, completely)!!!

Thankfully, Dawn is considerably advanced!
 
Thanks again everyone.

Karl, turning boxes are not really that different than turning pens. If you can turn a cigar pen and make a wood finial you have all the skills necessary to turn a box.
