The pecan bowl I posted about some time back has been finished for some time but I never got around to sending images.
There is a lot to things wrong with the bowl but the wife likes it and she gets the final vote.
Something I don't like about the bowl is the thickness of the sides and the bottom. One of the things I didn't anticipate is how out of balance adding a lot of coffee grounds and glue would make the bowl This made for lots of whomp, whomp, whomp with the whole piece threatening to come off the lathe. Shear cutting was impossible for me at least.
Having said all that I did enjoy working on the piece and learned a lot in the process.
My phone camera is the best I have.
