My favourite tool was a 3/8" bowl gouge with the flutes ground back, used that for nearly everything, bowls, platters, other stuff. One thing I loved doing was glueing squares/cubes of contrasting woods together and then turning them into a plate or bowl, gives a really unique looking piece. Seeing your work makes me want to bring my woodturning lathe into my new workshop ( when I've built it ) at the moment it resides in my dad's wood working workshop. Tim |

Playing with my lathe. I'm making a little saucer for my wife. The longworth chuck works great!!! I'll coat it with walnut oil and she can use it. ~Wes~ |
