That is sure some beautiful wood as a bowl.

I think wood has a mind of its own and when something happens to make you do what you have to and not want you want to. This turned out to be a beautiful bowl. Great job Jim

A pretty bowl even if it isn’t as big as you wanted. You do great work.

Another beautiful bowl Jim, irratates you don’t it when the darn wood spits out….........Well at least it irratates me!Great Job (again)!!

Thanks for sharing

-- Chuck Emery, Michigan,

Yeah, Chuck. I thought I’d have time to make the repair but the piece left and I didn’t see it until I stopped the lathe. The one thing I learned in woodworking is that it is as important to figure out how recover from a mistake as it is to make it perfect all the way through. You learn a lot of techniques to still make the project a winner after all!.

I love/hate turning…..some of my best work was something that crack or caught the tool. Sometimes they just have a life of their own

This piece broke and I moved it around the shop for a year until I found a use for it as a mic stand for my ham radio

Jim, still a nice bowl after the mishap. Like the wood and the finish you have given it.

Beautiful piece of box elder !

Nice save, great piece of box elder. One of the nice things about turning over flat work is the opportunity for design changes on the fly. Nice work.

-- Darell, Norman, Ok.

Man I wish we could get that Elder down out way, nice recovery Jim (as usual spot on) :))

Isn’t it funny how the wood tells us what it wants to be ! Nice turning and a sweet piece of Box Elder , Jim : )

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

Thanks you all for all the nice comments. I wish I could sent some box elder to all my friends in Australia in exchange for a few pieces of you beautiful wood!!

Cellulosespinner, WELCOME TO LUMBERJOCKS—just 11 hr old!! that is a great mike stand. It will bring memories every time you look at it. What are your call letters? Do you remember W9BQA?

The one thing about turning is that you can make a product in few hours compared to flat wood project that is comprised of a lot of pieces ( segment turning excluded as it takes a whole lot more thinking and planning).

I like the first part when you just look at it on the lathe and do your planning for it right then and there!!

Some time the wood cooperates and some times it doesn’t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a great week
