Some turnings I've done recently.

Beautiful turnings Jake - and your photo skillz are awesome. Could you elaborate on your photo method and camera?

@deltatango @Kevin I just use a homemade light box made from a large moving cardboard box and some white tissue paper. Camera is actually just my iPhone 6s. Happy you all think highly of my work!

Same phone I have why do my pics suck lol. I gotta build another light box I made one but used to ship product one time when I ran out of cardboard.

What kind of light 5500K+ CFL? Thanks for the info.

I see you're partial to the latin hardwoods - they produce some amazing varieties.

Mexican Ebony,

Would that be Mexican ROYAL ebony, aka Katalox?

Lookin at your stuff makes me wanna turn... I recently started an east indian rosewood and curly cream colored mystery hardwood (not maple) Christmas ornament -gotta get back to that.

I just got a board of katalox for the 1st time. CRAZY hard. The katalox I have is almost BLACK. Its the color of those DARK plums. I'm sure it will be black once oiled.
