First Bowl & Cup (practice)

[Chris DiCiaccio]

Finally tried my first bowl. Small piece of poplar rotten firewood. I will choose better wood next time. Learning the hard way. It was still fun to get a feel for what it takes to turn a bowl. First time using a bowl gouge and scraper. The cup is a small piece of persimmon which was the cut off on a previous vase. Still holding my John Hart gift blanks til I get better at this.

[Dick Parr]

Great start Chris, it is good to use old wood before you start on the good stuff.:)

[Bernie Weishapl]

Great start Chris. Great way to practice on wood not so good than to ruin a awesome piece.

[John Hart]

Lookin' Good Chris! Yup...I've turned a bunch of really crummy wood. Still turns out pretty though. I think that's what got me hooked.;)

[Ernie Nyvall]

That's an awfully good looking piece of firewood. Good job Chris.

Chris,

That must be some of that designer firewood I've heard about......

Hey... you're doing great.... keep turning and keep posting the results.
