Hi wrappers,

Been absent for while coz some other projects, but now again back in building.

Before anything else I need to thank all who helped me to understand how to put together those cool diamond patterns at handles about a year ago. Also pictures at photo section have been good help. Special thanks goes to Mark Blabaum, with his help I got my first piece to come out as good as it did. Did upload few photos if you like to have a look and comments are appreciated

Thanks again,

Antti Kymäläinen

Antti, thanks for the kind words. Your handle turned out very well and I'm glad that I could be of assistance, you did a great job and I'm sure that it won't be your last. Segmented turning are addictive and fun, I'm happy to see that some one else is working with them.
