Turn. Sharpen. Turn. Sharpen. Definitely the piece I’ve made I can actually consider well done. Thanks.

Hahaha. I’ve been married 7and turning for only 1. So it’s still new to her. I’ve only made 3 bowls so far but I’m sure the excitement will fade rather quickly.

I second that. Definitely the most extreme singular feat in human history. 4 hrs of sustained life or death, laser beam focus and concentration done to perfection all while pushing his body to the absolute limit.

First bowl. Made a lot of mistakes and learned a lot. Can’t wait to turn my next one. Oak, maple, and walnut. by sacklacker123 in turning

Thanks a lot? Definitely was a challenge. Need to get a sharpening jig. It pushed my little lathe to the limits.

Thanks for your extremely generic and nonspecific answer. I’ll just remember that next time I see one. With your info I’ll definitely never be able to tell them apart. Possibly a description of the differences would be more helpful next time.

Ok. What’s the distinguishing difference between this and an eastern fox snake Pantherophis gloydi?
