Well, here it is! My first finished bowl! I have now made a bowl!:)

Six inches in diameter and two and a half inches tall. Finished with Shellawax. Very thin walls.

Pardon the photography.:o A project on the list.

Congrats Harvey!
It's good to see you putting your OneWay monster to work.
Very nice offering, thanks for sharing a peek with the Creek.

I bet you turn lots more.
Can't wait to see...
play safe,
Walt

Hi Walt!

Thanks for the encouragement!

I don't have a Oneway monster. I have a monster of a different color. But nevertheless, a monster. This vortex certainly took hold of me. I almost forgot what a fence is. Must find a happy medium or I'll never be able to furnish my house.

My best to you and yours,

Harv

Sorry Harv,
I musta got my wires crossed.
Which lathe do you have?

I recall you have been gearing up your workshop bigtime.
Fuzzy on the details.
play safe,
Walt

Hi Walt,

With all the great and engaging personalities here on the Creek, I can understand how one might confuse some minor details. Heck, If anyone's confused bigtime, it's me!

I've got a Stubby:D and a German Shepherd:D. My life is complete!

Best,

Harv

Aaawwww yes Harv,
That's it... A Stubby!
I knew you had scored a serious lathe.
(to go with your rookie turning skills)hehe

Glad to see you are making some turnings for this show-and-tell we call the Creek!

well played, Sir
hope you get some shop time
Walt
