First one I'm proud of

[Jason scot]

I turned this one this morning. It is a piece of cherry crotch. It measures 6 3/4w x 5 1/2h and is 5/8" thick. I managed to finish cutting without any massive catches to sand out. It's sanded to 400 grit and finished with tung oil then canauba wax.

Like it! Well done!

very nice, Jason, sort of bell shaped

[Steve Schlumpf]

Congrats Jason! Be sure to sign and date it... you will be amazed at the different forms you can create over time!

My inspiration came while polishing a brass bell, nice to know the form is recognizable.

Polishing a brass bell... Is that slang for something?:D

Nicely done on the turning... Much nicer than my first couple of dozen and a few of my more recent attempts as well!:o

[Robert McGowen]

I agree with Steve. Keep this one so that you can compare it to your future turnings.

[Tony De Masi]

Nicely done Jason. Make sure you bring it to the next meeting too.

[Roland Martin]

Well done Jason, no going back now! What did you say you were polishing?:D

[Bob Bergstrom]

That is a tough form for your first success. You will find shallow bowls much easier to turn. A depth of 3" and 7 to 8" across are the best to work successfully. Keep them coming and congrats on your first.

Good job! At some point you'll realize you hadn't had a catch in a long time and the fear of cathes disappears. That's when it really bbecomes fun.

[Scott Hackler]

Nice work. I am glad to see you challenge yourself with a taller form. Like mentioned above, you will need to sign and date it. Keep this one for yourself and come back to it in 6 months to see your progress.

Nicely done Jason. Make sure you bring it to the next meeting too.
I was planning to bring it for the newsletter's editors challenge.

Thanks everyone for the comments.
