Walnut bracelet

First ever bracelet I have made. I have been thinking about making these bracelets every since I got my lathe and just never did it. Well I finally got around to it and am pretty happy. It took me about 3 tries to finally get it right but it was worth it. I started with a 8” long and 5” in diameter chunk of walnut thinking I could get atleast 3 if not 4 different bracelets out of it. Well…this is the only bracelet that I got out of all that wood. The first one I drilled the hole in the middle a little ofset(trash), the second broke apart on the lathe at the last minute(trash), the third was ok but the center hole was too big and fell off of my wrist(definately wouldnt work for my wife), and here is the fourth. I just pollished it with some orange pollish for cutting boards. I wanted to keep the original wood color and just bring out the natural color and grain. Cant complain too much. It was a learning experience as usual. Thanks for looking
