1st Natural Edge Bowl Try-oh well

[Chris DiCiaccio]

Got my nerve up enough to try a NE bowl. Found a log on the wood pile with a little spalt to it, think its poplar, but works for practice. Didn't get to the 1/8th wall on this one. maybe next time.

Chris, that is a great NE Bowl. I would only hope that my first one (which I swear I'm going to do soon) turns out half that good. You may not realize it but you seem to be a Natural at this turning stuff:) :)

[John Hart]

Pretty impressive Chris!! I'll have to find my first one. I think part of it is propping up a bench leg somewhere. I'm not sure where the rest of it is. :)

[Jim Davenport]

It looks real good to me. I'm waiting on my chuck, and looking for small logs at curbside salvage!:rolleyes:
I'm looking forward to attempting one of these.

[Joe Tonich]

Cool Chris. :D Glad I don't see any lil red splatters like what ended up on MY 1st natural edge. Ya done good! :D

You did REAL good Chris. Very nice bowl.

My first one got a flat top... and then it broke.:o

That is a really great looking first, second, fiftieth NE Chris, very nice shape.

Great job.

[Barry Stratton]

Thats a NE to be proud of, and its your first - wow!!!!!

[Jim Becker]

Very nice, Chris...I wish my first one was half as nice. You can reverse mount it with a jam chuck (between centers) and finish the bottom off nicely...this is the perfect type of project to learn that, too!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Chris you did real well on that one. I hope my first NE comes out that good. Great work.

[Pat Salter]

Nice job, but don't worry about getting to 1/8th with natural edges. I like seeing the bark. I usually leave mine about 1/4 to 3/8th just to show it off. I think the bark may stay on better too. Just my opinion.

[Corey Hallagan]

Very nice Chris, those NE bowls are just too kewl!

I tell you what, Chris. You've got this turning thing down and come a long way real fast! I still don't have the nerve to try an NE yet. Keep em coming. You're an inspiration and I look forward to seeing your turnings.

[Mark Cothren]

of my shop!
