...and Willie-O...yep...a 'little' lathe can go a long way towards relieving guilt *grin*....(I'll get you addresses and catalogues if ya want....there are lovely little small & mid-sized lathes now)

"Well, I burned 98& of that Maple tree...but look here what I did with the rest!"....lathes are nice...you can go from chunk of wood to a smooth container in just an afternoon....

....so here are some pics of a few wood things , chosen in a hurry...including one of a BIG Manzanita thing that may have been the physically hardest thing I ever turned....it is heavy and odd-shaped and wanted to shake the lathe apart....and it took about 8 tool sharpenings to find that ONE last embedded rock!
