This is the first bowl that I made from the maple tree that came down this week.
It is only the second time I have turn something Green (or third, if you count the one that broke on me this morning). It's also the first bowl with my new bowl gouge.
The wood cut so nicely but I found that it removed a lot more material than I'm used to. It took a lot of getting used to. I needed a lot of sanding.
The bowl is ~4" diameter ~2" tall, 3/16" think, thicker at bottom. By the time I got this thing smooth it was relatively dry. I will rough turn some pieces to dry

Pictures came out pretty bad. I need to work on that.
C&C appreciated. Green turning pointers welcome.
