Finally turned a bowl!

[Sparky Paessler]

Well I haven't turned in a while but needed a wedding present for a niece so I whipped out this hollow form out of a blank of hard maple I had. Turned out to have some curl in it. As always comments are welcome.

Edit: Whoops forgot to include the size. 7" tall and 10" across.

Nice form and I really like it. Best wishes to the wedding party. :D

Thanks Guy's. I've just not had a lot of time to do any woodworking lately. I have been checking in regularly and seeing whats going on. Just didn't have any thing to post. Hope to have more time soon to get back into it.

Thanks Everyone! It was fun to get back into it. I almost blew out the sides getting it too thin! One spot you can see light thru:eek:. I have several more roughed out so maybe I will get time to finish them up soon.
