Anyone else here turn wood as a hobby? So far I've made several pens from wood, acrylic, and antler. Going to try a small bowl or pepper Mills. But right now sticking to pens.

Digging those live edges.
This has been my favorite antler I've done so far.
Thanks

I have a tiny little Craftsman lathe. The belt broke so I bought an O ring that lasted a couple years, well that broke too....... Was shooting at the range and when I was leaving I looked down and saw a little Rubber belt on the ground. Not even certain what it went to. Stuck it in my pocket and put it on the lathe when I got home and BAM! It works again.
I have made handles for Lyman small mold handles (when the old ones got burnt off) I also have made a handle for my Lyman 45. These were made before the belts broke.
Recently I made some stielhandgranates for a buddy who is a WW2 miniature collector.

I turn as a hobby as well. Pens, bowls, wine stoppers, handles for ice cream scoops, pizza cutters, coffee scoops, razors, pie servers, cheese planes, letter openers....the list goes on and on. I sometimes bring my turning to meet and greets and swap meets.
Turned this out of walnut a week ago it was a good project .
