Hi All,
I just joined the site again after taking about 5 years away from turning. I've done some flat work in the mean time, but haven't had a lathe since I was last seen around here. Back then I made a few pens and bottle toppers, and a couple other little things. Well, I caved last week and went ahead and got a lathe again. I made a pizza cutter and an ice cream scoop to get the feel back, then decided I was going to start making bowls. I've been wanting to for a long time and I'm do glad I finally did it. Here are my first 2 bowls.
282802
The first one I did is the straight edge that is about 6 inches across and 2 inches deep.
282803
The second is about 5 1/2 across and 2 1/2 deep. They are both figured maple of different grades.
Critique away.
