Hello...anybody there

I dunno.............consult your proctologist.

Sounds like everyone is in the shop turning.

I know the group isn't out cutting trees due to hurricanes!

Mart> I have not seen a new post since 7/24. Is there something wrong on my end?

Things are going slow here in Georgia. Just getting over a cold or something. The way I was grunting it may have been the swine flu.

Also a disappointment. Just pulled 36 Sweetgum bowls I roughed and bagged in June. 12 out of the 36 have cracking to some extent. Probably has something to do with the season of the year the tree was cut. The ones I cut and roughed in January had about 4 out of 40 with some cracks. But beggars can't be choosy. I take them as I get them. It's all in fun, anyway.

I have been being "a wonderful father," or at least that is whst I call it. :-)

Our elder daughter spent a couple of months with us between March an May and while she was here the subject of turned knitting needles came up. I got distracted and did not try it while she was here. Then in mid July, I decided to try it. I dont have pictures of the proto-type but here is my second attempt.

The other thing is an Australian Myrtle Burl box.

Both are on alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking

I see them off and on, but it's been slow.... I read everything that's posted, but only comment when there's a question I can help with.
