Not the easiest wood to turn when dry, especially for a beginner. Very good attempt, when you try the “green” wood, don’t forget you Macintosh and galoshes – it is great when you turn the bowl so thin that you can see light though it, then watch it change shape as it dries.

Post you efforts Mike, I will be interested to see the results.

Beautiful job Mike,

I haven’t tried that myself yet.

Do you need any band aids???

Good one Mike. I’m so pleased that ole lathe is spinning again.

That is beautiful! Good job buddy!

Thanks people, no I have no skin on my knuckles, I’m not sure if thats from falling or turning. Yes Dick I can always use band aids, I always keep them in stock all over the place, especially by the lathe.

Nice natural edge bowl, Mike. The sharp edges can be a little intimidating! Thanks for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Very nice looking piece Mr Mike
