Another day of skew practice, this bottle stopper was made round with the skew then I used my TT 3/8 bowl gouge for the shaping. This little piece of Red Bud was spectacular, unfortunately the pic doesn't show it. I need to get the cork yet. This was finished with a bunch of coats of CA then wet sanded, first time doing that, then sanded to 12k with MM and three wheel buffed

This is the bowl I asked for advice on earlier. I'm not real happy with the accent band, have a couple ideas to fix it for the next version. The curve of the inside bowl doesn't match the curve of the outside so have to fix that too. The holly was finished with Deft Satin Wiping Lacquer as it doesn't darken the wood. The cherry was finished with multiple coats of Formby's Tung Oil then three wheel buffed.

Here's a shot of the bottom. It's the second time I've been able to do it, so I know it's not an accident now. Used my homemade vacuum chuck for it.
