Foneguy Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Turned this bowl on Sunday, it was my first, be gentle please. I like the way it came out, no finish on it yet, not sure what I am going to do with yet. I have a bunch of stuff sitting out in the shop screaming for creativity !!!!! i will see what happens next........ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrmccabe Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Looks great. I have never turned anything except the classic gavel 30 years ago in high school. Nice job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poisonfangs85 Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Looks really nice. I would love to get into turning, seems like it could be therapeutic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboS1ice Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 I like it dude, love the grain pattern, I would chose a finish to highlight the interesting grain of that bowl, maybe just some butcher block oil? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WigWagWorkshop Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Beyond awesome for your first bowl, hope my first turns out 1/2 as nice. I been experimenting with lidded boxes, but none are finished yet, I am just using cheap poplar for practicing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A buddy of mine just gives me pieces of whatever, and I practice with that. I like to start out with something big in mind, that way when I screw it up I can change the design as I go. Kind of like wanting to turn a Louisville slugger.... and eventually making a toothpick ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wood was fairly soft ... and with sharp tools it was very easy turning.. the hardest part was figuring out what you wanted it to look like !
