thought 2 months was long enough and found some spare energy to get off the couch and get back at it

your average 16 year old woodturner :)

Decent looking lathe you have there Murph and it looks like you are doing justice by it.

Must admit that I'm spending more and more time on the couch myself nowadays, but probably not for the same reasons....:rolleyes:

:no: Nothing average about that!

Five of my kids have past the age of 16, and none have turned anything as nice as those.

Nice work.

Thanks Neil the lathe it self is not mine its good woodturning friend of mine who owns it. It is such a nice lathe and damn it's solid haha . All I know about it is that it is a dominion lathe and has solid 600mm swing over the bed :)

Thanks for the comment stuffy, I was surprised my self of the outcome of the bowls . Having not been behind the lathe in a while it was a little touchy due to the fact they are such nice pieces. The platter style proved to be the most challenging piece because of all the damn birds eye it was really hard wood and kept tearing , and took forever to sand out .
