Vaughn McMillan Administrator Staff member Messages 36,132 Location ABQ NM Jan 27, 2008 #4 Oh, that old thing? Great piece, Jim. It's one of those you know is one of a kind. Must have been a real adventure to turn it.

Cody Colston Member Messages 336 Location Tyler, Texas Jan 28, 2008 #11 Wow! I can't even imagine turning something like that. I'll bet it sounded as interesting as it looks.

Frank Fusco Member Messages 12,791 Location Mountain Home, Arkansas Jan 28, 2008 #12 Wow! My first thought was 'glad he kept all his fingers'. Must have been a very interesting turning challenge. Great.

Gord Rock Member Messages 619 Location Red Deer, Alberta, Canada Jan 29, 2008 #13 Holy bleeding fingers, Batman! That is awesome! I think I might wait until I think a heart attack is imminent anyway before trying something like that!

Billy Burt Member Messages 772 Location San Antonio, Texas Jan 29, 2008 #14 That's a really pretty piece, Jim. I'm still too scared to try something like that. I have a hard enough time dodging bowls.
