This is the spousal unit’s first attempt at turning a bowl on her state-of-the art lathe (you have to see the picture in my workshop to understand the irony there), and, in her words, “it doesn’t suck.”

Maple bowl, finished in orange oil and beeswax.

Looks like a state-of-the art bowl turning to me. Great Job! I visited your pictures of the shop and one important thing to remember…... it may be small, but you don’t have to walk far to get to your tools. Look forward to seeing more projects from both of you.

Great bowl for the first one. Can’t wait to see more and more of the redheads handywork.

Great first bowl. It deffinetly “doesn’t suck”!

Sharing a shop can get crowded, but it is nice to have someone to work with.

Keep up the good work, both of you.

Fine looking bowl. If my wife could do that I think I would quit. A lathe just spins things around and yours seems to do that too, although if I were in your place I would probably try to figure out an alternative to the pipes bed. I have a similar design with two heavy duty solid steel 2” dia. rods and it still vibrates. If yours doesn’t, I apologize for giving the unasked for advice.Anyway, it didn’t seem to affect the quality of your wife’s bowl. Well done!
