As a newbie, I've started with spindle turning. You can use
all sorts of scrap to learn on - and don't need a dempsty
dumpster to get rid of all the curlies, chips and dust. Being
one who likes to try new things, but along an evolutionary
path, weed pots seemed ideal for transitioning from
spindles to hollow vessels. You get something that you
can put on a coffee table or shelf that'll hold something,
albeit something with a thin stem.

Those are very nice Charlie. In MHO there is no such thing as Junk
Wood. When a Caring person plys their ART and talent to a piece of
wood, the result is something personal and worthwhile.
