I made this box from scrap mesquite wood that I was given. I was ready to throw it away and Linda persuaded me to try to work with it. She likes the look. I have six more chunks to make over a period of time.

Made a new pinion bowl and pen holder for my desk.

Three new Chritsmas Trees made from Pinion wood.

Our new miniature Dackshund dog. Very small.

Linda picked out the design from a picture she obtained from a catalog she received. They are made of pinion pine.

Linda did her usual good job of decorating the house for Halloween.

Linda did very well with some recent quilts she made at the New Mexico Southern State Fair. She won multiple ribbons on many of her pieces in the categories of Best Machine Quilting, Stationary Machine; Best Art Quilt; 1st Place, Best of Lot. They are very attractive quilts. Good job Linda. Gary

Made a box to hold string. Convenient knot hole on side of box to dispense the string. Gary

This is a bud vase made from Pinion wood. The worm holes are an included feature. I did some spiral carving. Just started this new skill set. Not sure if I will continue it.

Linda selected the color and design of the two vases. The small bowl was made from a tree yoke with two branches.

This is a reading of a poem I wrote on turning wood on a lathe

Our son Earl is visiting us and these pictures are taken on the Mexican border wall and from a scenic view in El Paso, Texas.

Here is a poem I have recorded regarding playing bridge.

I made a new pecan bowl. While attempting to make another one, my nice Oneway screw chuck broke off. I have decided to give up on pecan wood. It is just too hard to turn. Close to the hardest I have turned.

Just finished this Pecan Box. The box lid warped slightly after I fitted it. It is part of working with wood. OH well.

Finished making two bowls from pecan wood. Note bark inclusion. Gary

Just finished four new pecan bowls. Lots of figuring. Gary

Linda and I collaborated to make these two candle holders. I turned them and Linda did an excellent job of decorating them. The wood is our local pecan wood. Gary
