As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification. Thank You Everyone.
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

I am thinking turning with a twist like an off center bowl or box using a skew only?

It has been a long time since we did a challenge. It sounds like a good idea.
I will second the idea of doing an off-axis turning as the first challenge. Restricting it to skew-only might be too dangerous if we want to include off-center bowls.
As a different challenge for the fall, I would suggest making a kaleidoscope. WaltQ was a collector of kaleidoscopes and making some for his birth month would be a good way to remember him (IMHO).

Yah no skew. Since I am short on funds the kaleidoscope is out for me anyway. A bowl or box or icecicle or anything would be find for me.
I do miss Walt too.
