Finished trimming some sliding closet doors and putting the bottoms back in.
Had those double bypass doors in an upstairs bedroom that is now my wife's craft room. Repurposed the doors for the basement finish in front of the furnace. Finally got that framed in the other day and trimmed the doors down but they were just a smidge too long.
Sanded off 1/8" or so and glued the bottom frame back in (hollow core. )
Then cut some stuffing to close off a corner of the porch where the birds like to make a nest. Put in some plywood last year but got an extra piece of siding from a project our daughter's family did so now it will look better.
Actually, got most of it done but just too cold to work outside today so I'll finish that up next week when it warms up.
Also trimmed that box of cutoffs I got from @pvwoodcrafts .

For all the short jokes, that bowl makes your hand look huge...
Been working on my skills this weekend with tops; wife and her friend are doing a craft show in a month, so figured I would fill a bowl with tops and then put a price tag on the bowl as well. Then started a new bowl to try to get those skills to sink in. Needs finishing but I am pleased with my progress. Spalted tamarind about 6x6x4.
Dude!!! It ain't flat, shaped like Texas, and multi-colored?
That crack down the side looks a little scary with the inside tenon. Granted it's not a very big chunk of skeet to fly off and hit you in the head, probably wouldn't hurt that head if it was a big chunk, and you probably didn't chuck it real tight, but... You're still exerting pressure outward, on an obviously flawed piece of stock, the physics of which could make holes in your ceiling or walls.How big is the little rascal anyhow?

It's about 4" tall and wide. It's not a crack, it's a bug hole. It was all intact for most of the turning, once I got it hollowed and the wall thinned out the dust fell out of it. I slowed it down to finish it out. Made sure to wear my faceshield the whole time too.
Dang... It's almost as tall as you are! Doesn't look that big.
Sweet turn; purty little bowl.

So, finished the bowl except for wax, want to try some of the beeswax talked about in another thread. Then finally built my casting pot, built my first mold, and yes.....a few more tops.
After finishing the farmhouse table I had time to make a bowl/platter. Fresh Magnolia. Hoping it will warp a bit and give it some more character.

Very nice
Did another impulse buy. Several of the turning club members have the Sorby texturing tool so I splurged. Thinking most about using it on the bottoms of my bowls to dress them up a bit. Will see. In the process of doing two more bowls as well as hoping to cast my first blanks.
