I have a split personality!

By day I’m a boring programmer/analyst for Stony Brook University. About the most fun I have is revealing all these scamming idiots to my large, growing audience.

But, when I back away from the keyboard I become an "Arteeest" with a sense of humor. The sound of a chainsaw makes me giddy with anticipation! I find it odd when I DON’T have a pile of sawdust in my pockets/shoes/bra. My idea of a "good time" is attacking a piece of wood rotating at 3600RPM with a razor sharp piece of metal.

Check my other blog: Hot off the Lathe on my woodturning site.

So many of you have encouraged me with my woodturning that I have set up a website. Please point your browsers to http://www.truffuls.com to see all my pieces.

 

The piece at left is Spalted Dogwood and African Blackwood.

I’ve been spending my evenings and weekends in my woodshop making ornaments. Take a look at my Google Picasa Albums. If you’d like to see them live I have a tree in my office with all of them displayed. I try to add one or two each day depending on how long my back lasts at the lathe.

Truffuls® Irresistible Delights

Many of you have seen these before, but if you haven’t, feel free to poke around. More will be added to this category when I get sick of making ornaments!
