Alabastron I - Burl Olive Wood - mm 335x270 - - - - It’s been a good day, in the morning I have just completed shaping all the main bowls from the latest oak blank pile and so now they are drying, I will shape later all the small blanks I cored out of them. The air drying process will be also quite fast for those bowls because they all have wall thickness around 2 millimetres. If you followed my latest stories, maybe you noticed that I came across a brand new shape I then elected for several pieces, I am still looking for a name to give it and still looking for an easy way to sand it on the inside. Anyway in the afternoon I started hollowing out the two big vessels I shaped last week. And my wife took a short video when she entered my shop and she saw both pieces spinning together on the lathe. In fact I was tired of hollowing out one of those vessels for today so I decided to buy time mounting the other one inboard to start drilling its centre - 😅 - sure I will post it later - 🍃 #contemporarycraft (presso Giorgio Romani Woodturning) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMkkTjJjDGM/?igshid=g5a3ktl461hf

What do you do when things don’t turn out as expected? Do you feel frustrated and turn around and walk away or do you think about the different ways to fix it as opportunities? Sometimes I feel like I just want to quit 😬 What’s life if not that I guess 🤷🏽‍♀️ . . . . . . . . . . . . . #interiordesign #kitchenware #sustainable #tableware #homedecor #naturalproducts #nature (at Downtown Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7ZOnWpjj-H/?igshid=j0lmn3oduxvq

I’ve been away for quite a while but I’m still active and making new things. This is my latest.

2nd Saturn Illusion piece in progress. About 75% done. Lots of detail work left plus the burning on the rim.

It really kills me every time I see Barlow get such beautiful wood, & do that with it.
