Well, the hot summer is finally cooling off a bit, which gets me in the mood to get back to my “environmentally controlled” shop and start turning. I just don’t enjoy turning when it is 105 degrees at the lathe.

Here’s a couple of turnings I finished today: a nice goblet turned from a piece of mesquite mistletoe burl and a shallow bowl with a natural edge. The goblet is 6″ high x 2″ dia. The bowl measures 10″ dia x 2.5″ dia. Click on the picture for a larger resolution.
