Since I retired and built my woodshop I have had more time to do the things I really enjoy!! Woodturning of all kinds--especially segmented woodturning--are my favorite.

I'd love to have the company!

Final dimensions are 10 1/2"dia x 5"h and wall thickness of 5/8". Bowl was made from locally sourced Walnut & Maple and finished with 3 coats of Tried & True Danish Oil
