New Turnings

I haven't been on my lathe at all this year.  The last I turned was just before Christmas.  I have had other projects that I needed to be working on.
We needed a gift for a wedding and my wife suggested I turn a wine bottle coaster and a re-corker.  So I did.  I made 4 sets.  One from beech and maple and two from boxelder.
The pictures below show the beech, maple and one of the boxelder.  The fourth is wrapped up with a bottle of wine and gone.

It felt good to be back in the shop turning.  I have a bunch of coffee mugs that I need to get doe next.
