Hello fellow Creekers!
As a long time lurker I thought I should post a turning of my own.
I am a self taught turner learning by trial and error and by numerous book reading and video watching.
This bowl was from a neighbors tree trimming business that is now sadly defunct due to health reasons, I managed to get a lot of maple from him.
Approximate size is 10x3", finished with salad bowl finish as it is a utilitarian piece.
