Clover Leaf Bowl
Attempted a few offset turning projects recently, this was by far the hardest. Started out way too large a log, should have made a much smaller one. Wanted the face plate to fit in holes…

Massive Horn
This is the biggest thing I have ever turned! Had to build it up on the lathe two or three layers at a time then one final turn, it was bit scary. Having made several…
