 
 I am taking a few baby steps with turning bowls and boxes now. This is my first bowl out of a piece of bocote. Its a very simple design, but the grain and color were so gorgeous that I really didn’t want to do anything to distract from it. | |||||||

Great job turning out your first bowl. You should be proud. Keep turning similar shapes at first, trying to get thinner each time. I have found it helpful to introduce new design elements a little at a time and move on after I’ve mastered a technique. Keep on turning. Thanks for sharing.

Nice looking turning, Trifern is right. Practice, practice, practice. I don’t know about the rabbit’s foot.
