Thought as a new forumer and a new woodturner, I'd send a photo (if I can) of first few efforts, appreciate all critism as thats the only way I'll learn

I like the pot-pourri bowl, what's the wood?

And believe me, things can get a LOT worse. You have something to show for your work, my last couple of efforts have been disastrous. :(

Thanks Skew wood is camphour laurel, a local weed in this area.

Thanks Pete pillow was the only piece of material I could find without sawdust and dust all over it

Very well shaped pens, and the potpourri bowl looks fine.
Keep up the good work.

Good pieces mate, the goblet on the right is a tad chunky for my taste but you've done well.

Looking forward to some time in the shed today, got the domestics done yesterday. I've got a yellowbox burl and a lump of spotted gume to play with!

I think you did well, Bernie. I've never done a pen, but I sure do like them. Goblet on the right is a bit heavy bottomed... don't be afraid to make 'em thin... :o)
Like Skew said, wait 'til something shatters... Grrrr.
Thanks for posting.
