was a bit nervous about posting some pics up , i only realy come on here to look , been turning for around 3 years now and think i,m just getting to grips with it now , all these 3 pieces were buffed on beale system with carnuba wax and then Microcrystalline wax. i have tried danish oil and finishing oil then buffing but i think it comes up a better finish without the oil,maybe i,m doing something wrong,. thanks for the good comments , will post some more up now , lol

I really like the shape of the last one, it is a lovely classic shape, looks simple but hard to get right. What's the wood?

I like the last one best too, very nicely done, Midge's post says it's Field Maple, I have only turned a little bit of that and it was quite a pale wood, so I don't have much experience of it's variations, but if I had to guess this I would have said Olive Ash.

Where I come from field maple is sycamore LOL.

Sycamore - acer pseudoplatanus
Two different species.

put the pics on wrong way, the first 2 are field maple, i get my wood from a friend who is the head woodsman of a big estate and field maple is what he said it was , i got a few large pieces of this and full of burrs, the last piece is english walnut which i have a lot of and also some more coming soon as my friend text me some pics of a large limb that come from a tree in the storm the other week, the limb is around 2ft across and about 30ft long so i have a nice supply coming . i will try to enter the forum challange , dunno about the christmas one though , will have to research see if theres something i can do ,
