Played around with this piece. Not sure i want to get rid of it. Kids think I should turn some for the Renaissance Festival this fall.

Added a couple more turnings at https://papasturns.etsy.com . I have been turning but not adding items as it is not as fun as the actual creating. 😜 More coming on the site as I commit to getting out of the shop and onto the mundane computer ops. 🤮Pieces are stacking up. I have been playing with Gonks, kid toy items and even some medical physical therapy items based on my recent Physical Therapy for my neck. Why buy a rubber peanut for neck massage when I can turn my own from wood and it works better! Therapist even liked them so much better than taped together Tennis Balls they asked for their own (pic attached of rough designs), which I turned for them. 😉

Finally ventured back into adding to the Etsy Shop. Cool new bowl with knots and wormholes made for fun challenge. See more of it at https://papasturns.etsy.com

So like I said, Gina gets first pick on my wood turnings. Here's 3 that she liked better than anyone else will 😆

Decided to go from Firewood to Scrap wood and test that turning adventure out. Entailed glue and flying plywood bowl/pot when plywood gave out. 🫨🫣😲. Salvaged out and of course having first pick rights Gina claimed both so these won't go to the Etsy store at [email protected]. Pic with the beer glass and kettle are fir a size reference. Pretty tall vase.😉

And yet another one I hadn't got around to adding! https://papasturns.etsy.com/listing/1752101044Cool Bark lifting as it acclimated yet was strong enough not to break!

Added another turning, turning is fun adding to the site is slow so I end up doing them in batches. ;) New one At: https://papasturns.etsy.com/listing/1752120554
