I'm enjoying this shape for the moment :-)

One of the reasons I've never had a lathe.

What puzzles me about turning (I do have a lathe) is unless you are making bowls etc to sell, don't you just run out of things to do with them? I bought a lathe, then tools, then went on a short turning course at Axminster (which made me realise I should have bought a different lathe), turned some bowls and they became presents for family, and....then what. My wife made it clear that she had enough bowls, egg cups, candle stick holders etc and this took about 3 weeks.
It was last used at Christmas to make a few components for a chair. Perhaps I need inspiration (and a shorter to do list).
