My first walnut bowl.

It is a lot easier, and often cheaper, to use a chunk of wood instead of a glue up. But we can’t always find that big chunk! Overall a nice bit of work. A lot of learning going on I bet! I ‘once’ did the same mistakes with the screws.

-- Robert, so much inspiration here, and so little time!

very nice color. to fill the holes try 5 second glue and coffee grounds. the grounds will san out and look like knots.

That’s a good looking first bowl. I like the color and figure in the wood. They should get easier and better looking as you do more.

It might help to get a power sanding attachment with some 80 grit paper. This would help to reduce the tear out. It sure cuts down on the sanding time.

The first of many to come.
