I just came in from the first turning of a new piece. Is these anything more satisfying than when a fresh turning goes from chunka chunka chunka to hisssssssssssssssssssss ? When the waste goes from a spray of chips to a fountain of long curly shavings?
I'll put up a pic after I part it away from the faceplate.
We do segmented turning, not because it is easy, but because it is hard.

I can think of a few things.
Looking forward to seeing the new creation.
Here's how it turned out. I think the wood is ash but I'm not real sure. The base is walnut. The finish is spar varnish because it's likely to see a hard life in its new home.
