1st Bowl is West Australian Jarrah. a hard wood but very nice to turn.
2nd Bowl is New South Wales Red Cedar, a soft wood. My first attempt at doing a square bowl or a bowl with wings
3rd is my first attempt at the inside/out vase. Made from recycled Oregon or Douglas Fir.
Three months with the lathe and I am still having fun, seeing something and having a go at doing it but in my own way.
Regards Bob C.

Bought a new lathe about 6 months ago and have only turned it on once to see if it worked. LOL
I have plans of using it, but got a couple of bigger projects to deal with first. Yours turned out nice. Thanks for sharing.

Bob,
These are very nice turnings. It is amazing to me that you can produce something this gorgeous after only 3 months.
Thanks for the post.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Even though I don’t know the basics of turning I have fun trying to do something new.
Lesson for all: respect your machinery, in my eagernesss to progress, I removed the top of my thumb on the bench saw, cutting burls to make rounds, the wood caught twisting my thumb onto the blade. Nothing a skin graft wont fix. Doesn’t matter how careful you are the danger is always there.
