That’s a lovely job. Looks great.

That's very nice looking and somewhat similar to one I am working on right now. There are similarities between them in the fact that they are wide, low, 3 sections, open in the middle.

Really nice work.

Is your lathe vintage? Turning seems like a very enjoyable skill to have.

Yes. It is a 1947 Myford ML 7

I agree that turning seems to be enjoyable and a useful skill.  I considered a lathe before ultimately deciding to get a OneFinity CNC.  Both would have allowed me to stretch my skills and do projects that without I could not accomplish.  The CNC has been great.  Now a lathe is at the top of my list.

It's a bit of a rabbit hole and somewhat of a niche sub-set of woodworkers. My first exposure was with a ShopSmith that my dad had in the basement. They make a fairly decent lathe, even if the rest of the "Swiss Army Knife" of a tool sucks.
Later I bought a Jet benchtop model to enjoy the experience, taking much less space, later adding the extension bed to it  [huh] so much for saving space.  [big grin]
I made some huge Golf tees for the front of a bar I built several years ago. I was a side-job type thing for work. When the job was originally bid, they had planned to sub-contract those parts, not knowing I could do them at home. That's essentially how it worked out. I became the sub-contractor.
They were made from solid Poplar, in 2 parts. The heads turned separately from the shank and glued together with a loose tenon. This was long before I had a Domino, maybe even before I had even heard of such a thing.
They were actually made as halves, which could be clipped back together for turning as a whole unit.
I even had to make a steady rest from an old pair of roller skates to be able to turn the pointed ends.
I still have that thing.....never used it since
They were painted gold and applied to the front of a Walnut bar. Sadly, that pizza shop went bust during Covid, so it's gone now.

They'll also be super handy for when the zombie apocalypse happens!
