Hello all:
This is my first turning that I've felt is cool enough to post. I've only been at this for a few weeks, but I've turned almost 20 stoppers for the holiday season.
Below is a walnut stopper that I was seeing if I could turn around a knot / inclusion that I misjudged. The grain around it was cool, but the void was huge (couldn't tell). It exploded on the lathe, but instead of stopping, I kept going. I think that sometimes the flaws in wood increase it's beauty.
Any comments and criticism is welcome.
