First Bowl, Mexican Bocote

Great job on your first bowl. They get easier with each turn. Thanks for sharing.

very nice, I like the grain and nice job on making the walls pretty thin

That bowl looks pretty good, lots of grain. I have some of that wood in the shop right now waiting on me… your second picture is more like the “real life” color, isn’t it? (BTW, I’ve seen that flying bowl performance myself a couple times, I didn’t like it either.)

-- All the test cuts in the world won't stop you from cutting the outside when you meant to cut the inside. doh!

The second picture is without a flash, so yes, the other two pictures are a bit brighter than the actual bowl is. But the second picture makes it appear slightly darker than it actually is.

Very nice looking bowl. We have all had our share of projects flying around the shop. You did a nice job of saving this one.

How do you hold the bowl on the lathe?
