my 1st turning was a couple of spindles for my friend Grovs.

And I did this finial yesterday to match a second .

I am happy with both outcomes. This lath stuff is fun with a good piece of equipment.
 
Jim the 1st spindle I turned for my friend was on my old shop smith and the 2nd one and the finial I did on yours. Man I love that beast. Not bad for not having a duplicator. I'm sure I'll get better.

I'm taking it slow, faster lath , sharper tools and a tight bar rest. I'm loving it. I really want to get into some of the rose wood blocks I have and do some of them cool looking ornate spindles with small bowls I've seen some of the guys on here do.
