Some pics of my first albiet somewhat crude attempts at faceplate turning.

Starting to get better at it, and have a pile of redwood burl blanks and
color-streaked hickory blanks, as well as apple, figured maple, zebrawood,
walnut, and cherry blanks, cut up and ready to turn.

So far I like turning the hickory the best, except for the shower of hot hot
splinters on my hand. I like turning the box elder and the redwood the
least, because they are soft and weak, and they keep exploding every time I
think I have some great idea.

Here are pics of the first few:
