Hey Shawn, welcome to the family!
Your turnings look good for a beginner, we were all at this stage at some point, you will certainly improve, if this is your "Newbie" stuff!
Your picture taking, needs some work (I know, I'm an expert, I suck at taking good pics
) it is hard to do right, you don't have to spend a ton of money, but buy making or buying a photo tent and getting some lights that are the right ones for picture taking, you can really do your work justice, I'm struggling with this as well.
One thing I cannot fault is your selection of wood, nice stuff, can you give us a run down on which pieces are made from which wood?
