Hi, My name is Peter Huckstep and I have been turning a little over a year. I have made pens and very small boxes as I had only a mini lathe. I have moved up and just purchased a full size lathe so now can move on to turn larger segmented items even though I enjoy the small things.
It is difficult to get big chunks of wood so making segmented items is really nice and its great to no be wasting all the wood if it was a solid piece of wood. I have attached a photo of an ornament design I have been making and a cantaloupe size box. The box came out beautiful except my wood choices that I painted didn't come out as well as I would have liked. I have repainted in the program and will rebuild some day.
Glad to be with the group and enjoy the program.
