Nice job, Lee. For a "second", that's pretty special, both because of the construction and because of the nice curved form. The tendency for most beginning turners is more "flat bottomed" vessels...which is not bad, but frankly is actually harder to turn. A nice flowing curve like you did is easier to do 'cause you don't have to deal with an abrupt corner!

You should make a set of those Lee. Really nice.

I think I'm with John and Corey on this one - all you "new" turners just keep setting the bar higher and higher . . .
*sigh*
Someday, I'll have a bowl to show off . . . maybe . . . if I can keep it on the lathe long enough to finish it.

"Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.
