These camphor bowls warped substantially in the drying process.  Part of wood turning wet wood.  Gary

Just finished a lamp I turned on the lathe.   The shade is from a giant Sequoia and I also turned that on my lathe.

These are nine mushrooms that I made out of tree limbs. They take a minimum of an hour a piece turning them and longer to finish sanding, painting, etc. Linda likes them. A new challenge that I enjoy. Gary

I used a new method to dry these newly turned wet wood bowls.   I used a COSTCO dehydrator for 10 hours at 130 degrees.  Worked very good.  Otherwise I would have had to wait 4 months to finish turn them to allow natural drying.
