Beautiful work Eric!!!! I use to do a lot of turning. But I love to carve more. I am always out in my shop playing. I think if you click on my user name you can find some of my work. But you might get tired of looking for them. I have been on the site for a few years.:):)

My dad had a lathe so I was turning as a teenager but certainly nothing as beautiful as your work - They are exceptional.

Great shots too

have fun

Wow! Your wood working is superb (I wish I had talent like that), and the photos are first-rate, too. I believe you do have the hang of it.

Woodworking is my primary hobby as well and those pieces are OUTSTANDING!!! I would be mighty proud to call those pieces mine. Very impressive! Nice product shots as well. I agree that a photo box that removes the creases might be a benefit.

I am a woodworker also, but advanced age made me slow down too much and only use photography as a hobby. I loved your pieces and photos. Show us some more.

A brief history of how I got started in woodworking (my main expensive hobby). I was an application programmer working for a company that owned and operated portrait studios, mostly at WalMarts in the US, Mexico, Canada and, briefly, in Germany. I did some image processing coding that was a lot of fun and relates to photography, my second expensive hobby.

The company (Portrait Corporation of America - PCA) went belly-up in 2008, in large part because of the digital revolution in the photography world. At about the same time, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, so I figured there was someone up there telling me it was time to retire, even though I was only 60. Luckily, I got SS-Disability approved pretty quickly and have a very supportive spouse who is an RN (and an extremely thrifty person), so retirement is working out pretty well.

Mostly I do segmented wood turnings. Here are a few examples. Comments are welcome, either on aesthetic or technical issues. I am still getting the hang of shooting this type of photo, so I am interested in pointers on issues such as lighting, shadows, hotspots, and getting the whole piece in focus.

These are beautiful items and well presented.

Stay strong. You can be proud of what you have accomplished. I understand being disabled, I once was a Union Ironworker before I became a Union pipefitter. I walked 6" beams 600" in the air. No net. Now I can hardly walk across the living-room floor without falling off. But I can always look at the buildings and know that for a moment in time, I was on the top of it. Your wood working is brilliant., and your pictures of it ain't either. As a matter of fact they are tack sharp. Tom

your picture ain't bad either. Even with Parkinson's, with a good tripod, maybe a gimbal head and a remote shutter trigger. you could take pictures forever and a day.

Heck with the photographs, but, just look at those beautiful pieces! I'm really wondering how you did them, well I'm sure it was on some sort of lathe, but getting all those blocks to line up seems incredible. Please do tell us.
