Just joined the forum to broaden my knowledge of wood turning and get to know my fellow wood turners.  I've been turning for over a year.  My step father willed all of his turning equipment and tools to my son who doesn't use them much, so I've taken up the hobby and am learning more and more each project I take on.  We live out by Fulshear, TX.  Along with the woodworking equipment I have a lot of wood from my step father, but now that everyone in the neighborhood knows I'm a turner, they always call or bring interesting wood by for me to use!  Attached is a small sampling of the turnings I've made so far.

Next big project is a multi-wood layup large bowl (dark and light cedars and spalted cottonwood.  I've done two small ones, but this is bigger and thicker.  All glued up yesterday.  I have several other bowl blanks that have been prepped and need to be turned.  Two will be natural edge red oak and then I think I still have two water oak blanks to get their first turn before drying.

Welcome aboard, from Flower Mound (North Texas). Don't be shy about asking questions. We've all been there and done that. Let us help toy from making some of our mistakes. ESP. when it comes to spending $$$.
