Out of round

One of the common misconceptions about turning is that everything that is put on the lathe comes off round. Nothing could be further from the truth. Endless variations are available doing "eccentric" or "off center" turnings. Today I spent some time working on this piece of Mesquite that will hopefully end up as a decorative bowl with an open end, enhanced with turquoise and copper leaf. It was really relaxing turning with the garage door open and the rain coming down.
