First days of Autumn. Update.

Summer has come and gone, and I have not posted in a while.  I did get a chance to turn some bowls though.
Newly oiled bowls drying in the garden

Experiments with lettering and surface decoration.

A biggie.  11.5".  Given to my pal John on his wedding day.


Since the summer has ended I have not accomplished much in the way of craft. Some of my fellow educators seems to continue on with craft like nothing changed in their lives. I don't know how they do it. That said, I did build a second lathe to keep near work.  Hopefully in the coming afternoons I will be able to pop out and turn a bowl now and again during the workweek. I will post pics of it sometime...
In the meantime, the following video was shared on the Greenwoodworking facebook group, and I thought it charming. Enjoy.
