Thanks guys for the kind words!!
I love bowls that turn out without too many mistakes, this happens to be one of them---

Great job Chris !! I love Walnut and tried one NE with it, needless to say it ended up in the firewood pile.:)

Chris, great looking bowl! One question: How did you turn the foot? Use a glue block, a recess or what? Curious as I have yet to turn anything natural edge yet and like to get the info from those that already excel at it.

[Christopher Hunter]

well I have turned about a hundred NE's so far and have tried all three ways (tenon, recess, glue block) and so far I have found the tenon to be my favorite way -- on big bowls
generally I start out by turning between centers and then turn tenon and pop it in the chuck --
the glue block for me has been the least favorite because most of my turnings are in the green stage ---
Hope this helps!!!!

Looks like a nice job Chris.
