This is the my 4th bowl I have ever turned. I enjoy carving too, though I would say my carving skills are very rudimentary.
The quote is from a John Lennon song, and one I always like to remind myself when things don't seem to fall into place as I wish they would.
The bowl is Honduran Mahogany. About an 11" diameter 1.75" depth. This was a test piece before I make another similar bowl for the wife (though the next will be about 2.5-3" in depth). Instead of having a carved phrase, I am going to do some simple Plumeria flowers on the rim. Those are a special type of flower from Hawaii that the wife loved when we went there, so i figured it would be a fun, challenging project she would enjoy.
