When I turn a bowl/vessel, I don' have an idea going into the project. I tried to sketch something once and follow that design, but it didn't work. I let the wood dictate what it turns into. Pretty makes everything I turn one of a kind. Only once did I copy a bowl. I have one, my mom has the copy (shift knobs aside). I would love to build natural edged coffee and side tables. They seem to be making a comeback these days. Problem, the nice big logs for this cost a ton of money! It's commission based and for that you need a portfolio, which I don't have - 'cause I can't afford the log to make one! See how this goes full circle.

I'd love to end up making guitars. Would be the best of both worlds for me. That's probably one of the hardest doors to get into, though. Unique furniture and guitars.

As for pix, I've documented a ton of stuff on FB. I just need to go back and do some better photography to create a proper FB page.
