[crw-talk] Photos to start conversation

[Mwt]

Lyle, is this one coming through?  It is coming from my phone.  Actually I think my computer hates me.  I can’t always figure out how to make it do things sometimes.

Is your computer doing crazy stuff with other emails from other people?  John

I turned it in spindle orientation and hollowed mostly with a hook tool, then finished up with a negative rake scraper. Cut the "J" shaped hole for yarn with a Forstner bit in a hand drill and a saber saw then finished with spray-on Polycrylic brand finish.  I am going to TRY to send a seperate brief video of me using the hook tool to make a walnut yarn bowl that is currently in the process of finish application.
