Not much turning today, did a seam ripper this morning (violet and teal double-dyed and stabilized Box Elder Burl) and spent time with the kids. I did haul them over to Woodworkers Source this evening for some sandpaper discs. I also applied for the Sunnyslope Art Walk set for October 10th. Crossing my fingers that i get accepted.
After the kids were in bed for the night I took a bunch of photos of some stuff I've finished/been working on lately, some of these are from before this project started.

Acacia from my friend Kevin. He gave me this piece shortly after I hurt my hand last year. I had to wait a couple of months for my hand to heal before I could rough it out.
Quaking Aspen. The gray color reminds me of newspaper print.
Cottonwood. I would have tossed this in the recycle bin if it wasn't for the knot. The wood was softer than I would have liked.
Eucalyptus Burl from day 6.
Eucalyptus Burl from a couple months ago. The bowl portion has a round bottom, the rim is only about 1/8"thick.
More Eucalyptus burl, also with round bottom and a 1/8" thick rim.
Curly Poplar nested set. This wood was from a large tree being taken out in Idaho last summer. I wish I'd gotten more of it.
Last piece for today. Walnut Burl about 17" across on the bigger one. I got the wood at the meeting in Prescott last year, it came from a vendor that drove over from California.
