Welcome to the world of Segmented turning. I have found it infectious. If this is your first effort, we can only applaud and anticipate the next ones.

Nice Work.

This is a really pretty piece, Mary Ann. It is especially good being your first one of this type. I love it! You did a great job.

I hope those aren’t your next hats posing with the vase.

Nice name, I always liked Hoover.

Thanks, folks! I am already planning the next one. Maybe a bowl that will match the cutting boards.

Nah, there is only room for one hat in my heart… besides, she wouldn’t let anyone else on my head anyway.
Hairy is nice name, too! ;) The species really is a Hairy Woodpecker.

Mary Ann – just fabulous! You go girl!

Amazing, Mary Anne!

I definitely want to see a blog for the next one. Please be sure to include some photos to prove that you (not the animals) are actually building all these great projects you’ve been posting lately. I suggest letting the coon take the photos.

And while we are on the subject of photos, these are excellent.

Uh oh, you’re catching on, Charlie. I never have shown photos of me actually doing the work, have I? ;)
Too bad the woodchuck is so shy!

Fantastically Fantastic! This turning deserves the F-word twice. I am impressed.

Mary Anne, you have really reached out and grabbed that gold ring. Good for you. And with good humor to boot. And I love the pictures.

Well, looks like you measured just right. Looks great, good job. And I think the bird and chipmunk will second that.
