"Dave Balderstone"

I've turned green ash to bowls a couple of times and have more roughs
waiting.

Once it's dry, sharp tools and a light cut seems to be the rule for me.
I've shattered more than I've completed, but I'm still new at this.

Ditto. A comment by a close friend dining at our home last weekend: "The
dinner was delicious, the conversation stimulating, and you have the most
interesting firewood I've ever seen."

I've been attempting some of Mike Darlow's spindle exercises.
