Learning turning

Got a Jet JWL-1236 lathe off Craigslist in January, and have been learning turning the old-fashioned, trial-and-error way. Plus, making an unbelievable mess of my half of the garage!

Box elder

Basket-weave vessel; plywood and pine.
Dogwood stump (referring to the bowl).
Same bowl as above, after some finishing work.
Segmented, lidded box, of leopard wood,
ambrosia maple, and padauk.
