Hello all! Obviously new here, and am thrilled to have stumbled upon this community. I have never really been much of a “woodworker” just more of a “let’s make something” kinda person, until recently, when I started woodturning. This has changed everything! I am completely consumed by it, and just can’t put it down. I’ve fully fallen in love with turning, specifically bowls vases hollow forms etc, and have jumped all in. So I’m here for any advice, to learn, give any input that I possibly can, and to absorb all the information I can handle. Thanks for reading, and can’t wait to see what the future holds! Attached a few pictures of some of my most recent turnings.

Believe it or not, that was all on one single tree! Burls every couple of feet all the way up!

Sal, welcome to the mess. Can you go up to your first post above and under the last picture click edit? Then go back in and label each picture as to the kind of wood and epoxy used, please.
