TURKEY TIME

Well the spring is here and it's time for turkey.  I've moved the lathe outta the basement and out to the shop.  In order to celebrate, I thought nothing better than to turn some pots and make some sawdust.  First off here is a whole mess of calls I'm donating to a local disabled and special needs youth turkey clinic and hunt next weekend.  They are all made from composite decking and are 2.5" glass over 2" painted glass.  I've termed them "Pocket Rockets" and they are the perfect size for kids hands or just to slip in your pocket while on the run.

I also turned a couple of full size pots but only have pictures of this one.  3.5" slate over glass in a purpleheart pot.  it has an 1-1/4" sound hole on the back so you can play the glass soundboard as well for putts and purrs.  Turned out pretty slick.

Trout fishing is just around the corner and i'm feeling the heat on the drift boat.  So, it's time to retire the lathe for a moment and start putting some effort into that.  Stay tuned....
