I keep getting political texts begging for money saying it's the final time...why do they keep promising it's the last time? I keep adding them to the blocked spam list and they just use another number. Rhetorical question obviously

#Woodturning What's on your lathe today, a piece of big leaf maple is on mine we will see what I produce from it. It's so green that it's dripping wet, so I'm only rough turning it today

An hour later he could not be outside as there was a fire with 30 mph winds fortunately for the fire fighters the wind died down and they were able to contain the fire to about 1100 acres.

#Woodturning Finished a few projects this week including this apricot bowl that I have finished and removed the tenon. I will definitely be looking for more apricot to turn in the future.

#Woodturning what's on your lathe today. I have an elm bowl that I'm making feet so it will sit flat. I had turned it a while ago and the weight was constant for about a month however it warped the day after turning it to final thickness.

#Woodturning I can't take credit for this, but check out this tiny segmented turning that was getting past around at the last woodturning meeting I went to. The segments are a 32nd of an inch tall.

#Woodturning Well so far the bark is cooperating, however there's one spot where a limb was pruned looks like about 15 years ago based on the number of rings that is punky while the rest is green and cuts like butter. I am going to try and cut out the punky part if I can get past it.

#Woodturning Here's an English Walnut bowl I just turned. Still have the tenon to remove later. Just put some walnut oil on and it really shows the natural beauty of the wood. It sure soaks up the oil I will put a few more on over the next hour

What's on your lathe today? I have a natural edge sweet gum bowl about 7" diameter 5" tall. Time will tell how much it warps as it is still green. This is my first natural edge bowl that I turned green.

What's on your lathe today, I have a segmented bowl made of cherry, maple, and Paduak. Just applying a lacquer finish then all that remains is to turn it around and remove the tenon and lacquer the bottom.

How much money are we currently spending on police and military presence in Washington DC now? You can walk a block and there will be at least 4 police cars with an officer inside, the motor running flashing lights on, no siren. One at every intersection. They look bored most are on their phones.

We need to demand that congress does their job, the writing is already on the wall of what will happen come the end of January. Force them to stay until they complete their job no matter how long it takes no excuses 7 days a week.

Today I have a small mesquite bowl with a live edge. First time turning mesquite and almost first time turning a live edge bowl. The outside is turned almost to the final shape starting to hollow out the inside. Haven't even sanded yet just sprayed it with lacquer to see how it would pop.

Feeling very grateful this morning, Thanos had eaten some bark enough to cause an obstruction. Several emergency vet visits later and he is recovering without having to undergo surgery. He lost about 5 pounds which is a lot for a miniature dachshund. He would not even eat boiled chicken.
