Still on the lathe...

[Arkyyoter]

Hi guys....here's the first call turned on my new Rikon lathe....I think that Rikon is going to be a very nice little lathe...so far I love it!!!

Here is the second call in my new style...it is still in the lathe, and still needs several more coats of finish and buffing...but I thought I would see what ya'll think of it....

It is Water Buffalo Horn, and a decent piece of Amboyna Burl....I got some goodies in and couldn't wait to get started with some of 'em....

Here's the new lathe...



Here's is the first call on it....as I said not finished, but on the way...
















Ya'll lemme know what ya think now, ya hear???!!!

Great job Joe!! Shop looks good, call looks great!!  I'm likin' your wood/horn, wood/antler combos.

Looks good from here.
It's another completely different shape. Are you in transition?... or just free wheeling shapes as you go? There for a while you had a signature shape going.

Hey, looks good Joe, what happened to the antler one?

How can you have a shop that clean.  I can't even see the floor in mine.  I have come to conclusion that the more dust and chips I leave on the floor the softer it is standing in front of the lathe.

Joe,  That call looks great.  I look forward for the new line to be released to the gen pop.
