This is my second attempt at making a bowl, and first green turning. The first was posted months ago, but no longer exists. I hope the dogs enjoyed eating that one.
A friend from work told me he was having a walnut tree removed this past spring and wondered if I wanted some. Simple answer... YES! I didn't have any anchorseal so I brought a can of old latex paint to work and asked him to paint the ends since I was going to be out of town for a few days. He painted it up and someone promptly stole it off his lawn. He called his tree guy, who was nice enough to drop off 3 logs the next week from another tree he was cutting in town. I got lucky this time.
So I am not sure how the pictures will show up, but here they are. It ended up a little thicker than I would like and I really don't like the wide foot, but I am pleased with how much I learned on this one.
