Some of my recent work on the rounding machine(DVRXP) I've only been turning for a few months so please "crits are welcome", just for fun I added some close up's of the grain.
Please excuse the photo's as they are shot under fluro lights, the ones with the richer colour have been taken with the camera in full auto using the flash, all others are timed exposures. All close ups are timed exposure as my camera's flash dont work up that close...
A xmas gift for the MIL, a lazy susan in jarrah about 500mm/19.5" in dia. Check the colour difference with the background... its the same wood!
Its my 1st go at outboard turning.

A small pot thingy, H205mm/8" x D150mm/6", dont know what the wood is looks like pine but its heavy plus its super hard and brittle... it was making mince meat of my woodcut gouges. I managed to get the walls down too 2mm/.07"thick but it cracked in 2 places, you can see them in the photo's.

A bowl, H65mm/2.5" x D230mm/9", wood is Broughton willow(acacia salicina), I'd call this my 1st successful bowl

This is the goblet I made after having no luck with the blank in the recent competition here... just to see if I could do it, once again its broughton willow, it is from a different tree to the bowl. H85mm/3.3"x D45mm/1.7"

A jar(lollies!)made from a fence post, wood unknown, H150mm/6"x D100mm/4".
The 2nd go at a goblet, totally different style this time, its the same wood as the pot thingy been attacked with some Ubeauts water dyes dark green(for patina)then with a mix of yellow and red and cedar. I didnt finish it to the same standard as my other turnings as you can see in the close up!

Finally a group shot!
All are finished with Ubeaut products, sanded to 1500, EEE'd, shellawaxed then trad wax.(except goblet#2)
