Hi Everyone.
I am a recently retired Professor (chemistry) and full-time furniture maker. My turning journey started in ’93 with making a scale solar system for my kids. My lathe ismy dads’ early 50’s Rockwell lathe shown in the pic, 11". My turning generally comes in spurts when I get new green wood or get some ideas. Unfortunately, this means it takes me awhile to relearn the skills each time. Shown is the quaich I’m turning for my son’s anniversary (my wife is Scottish). This is how it still is as it got interrupted by a gift of a log. Should have just finished it them but I had to get the log off our friends yard, etc. etc. I’ll get back to it as soon as I get done processing the green log into bowl blanks or bowls. I’ll be posting some questions regarding this log.
