Someone’s getting 45% less bowl for Christmas.

Most of it was just some shitty poplar that I had lying around, but I can see the improvement and am getting quite a bit more comfortable with my tools. Poplar tears out really easily, but I think I understand why grain orientation is important now.

Curley maple, birdseye maple and walnut

Winged hollow forms with through finials. Cherry, stained cherry base, ebony finial.

Not going to lie, I love a good feature but this one miiiigggghhht just be an ugly duckling. Cedar, I think, or something like it. Lightweight and relatively soft, very aromatic. Made for a nice morning’s worth of shavings anyway.

Hey all! Beginnerish here, but I've watched a ton of videos about wood turning. I'm using an OLD rockwell Delta 46-525. It works well though. I'd like to do small piece multi axis spindles. I am looking for equipment recommendations for drivers and live centers. I have a live center on it now, but I'm not sure if I just pop it out and put in a drive center or if there's some intermediary piece needed.
