Ok, after finally getting my truck fixed I started back in the shop. Oh I finally got my shop setup. I have power and lights yeah......Well back to the projects. First I finally finished turning my Cedar toothbrush holder. I turned a Bremease (spelling) Blackwood cane for a birthday present, made a pencil for my daughter used babinga, purpleheart, and black walnut and a cotton rag to burn the rings into it. (yes I know using the rag is dangerous :-/), turned a pestle and mortar for a friend using a piece of wood he gave me for the pestle and a piece of very rare South American Mahogany. Here are some pictures, I will put the rest in my photos on my profile page.
Hope this isn't to many pictures in one post lol.

Great looking items there Adam. I really like the first cane and the bowls. I had an idea once to turn a Mortar and Pestle just for fun, but haven't found a decent pair of blanks for it yet.
Great job.

This website is new so it doesn't have much to it yet but you are welcome to take a look :)

Some beautiful projects here, Adam!
The grain pattern on the cane reminds me of a Damascus knife blade.

Adam it looks like you have an official hide-away. Looking good! I love the cane.

Very nice job on all of the projects. You are definitely getting better the more you are turning. I really like the pen. When you described it to me I didn't envision it the way it looks. Very nice, now I see why they all wanted one.
The shop is coming along nicely.

First welcome, I have been gone for a few months also. Nice turnings, and a small shed that you can do all the work in.

Awesome Adam!!! I love it all. The second to the last is my favorite, beautiful.
Hey Adam what is your shop made from? How does that work? Is it a converted shed, or 2x4 construction with canvas?
It looks like the Hooches I stayed in when I was in the field.

Thank you Arlin for the welcome and the nice comment.
John, it is an 8X12 portable building that I have insulated and run electricity to.
For right now since I'm just turning mostly to give me an escape it does what I need :-).
