Turned some more apricot tonight. Made two small weed
pots for prizes at a reunion picnic tomorrow. One
provided its own title and required a little outside of
the box thinking to make it work. Pic in
alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking - message title
is Drink Me.

Turning a 4x4 chunk of pine, cut from some header
scrap, is a lot different from turning green apricot
in the 1 1/2 - 2 1/2" diameter range.. A big roughing
gouge sure is handy to have. Didn't dare try the
1 1/2" oval skew. That thing's just to scary for
me at this point.

Fun being ankle deep in shavings and chips.
