Well the morning was consumed by trips to home depot and cleaning up the shop a little. That only left time for two little guys to make it off the lathe.
After the encouragement on the other cherry bowl I gave it another go. I'm much happier with the quality of the work on this one. The tear out is much much less. The shape makes me pretty happy. The foot however looks quite different to me off the lathe. I wish I'd put a deeper curve at the bottom of the bowl and narrowed the top of the foot in. There is a curve to the foot that doesn't come out as well in the pictures but still not as dramatic as I thought it would be.

And this one seems to get a little uglier every time I look at it. The shape is all kinds of wonky. I was mainly playing with making a box and wondered how it would look with a foot. I should have added a little groove at the bottom and left the foot off. Then it would at least look like a .45 acp round.
This will be a great gift for the wife. Anything I make looks great to her and it will be neat cause it opens. Hopefully she won't show anyone else though :D

I do like the grain and coloring here though.

Hey look, even apart they are still weird looking.
