Ok, what are some good things to turn on the lathe that reflect more masculine taste. After all, although a man can admire a vase, goblet, platter, or bowl, he may not really get excited upon opening one up for Christmas. Help me out here, and let me know something other than key chains and tooth pick holders!

Just about the right amount of time until Christmas to turn some mallets and soak 'em in PEG 1000 for 60 days. Makes a great tool because the PEG is deliquescent, making the mallet heavier, and a "soft blow" type because the surface remains damp and compressible. A carver needs several, of various weights and handle types to rest the grip and provide just the right touch.
Other is a "priest," a short billy club used to administer last rites to muskie or pike prior to removing the hook.
You might see if you can hook up with this guy for one of his demos.
I also seem to recall a contributor to this group a while back named Brad who did some pretty innovative work along these lines. Last I heard he was having some "personal" problems and had taken a break.I think he might have had a problem that some drug dealers experience. You know that old saying abount getting high on you own supply? I think Brad might know a little about that.(wink,wink)

^^^^^^^^^^^^ Well, Dan, I considere this whole thread to be sort of TIC, since I don't accept the original premise that a bowl is somehow "un-masculine."
So, then, how about an *elliptical* golf tee?
Now THAT would make an acceptable gift. ;)
