OK, here we go - my first bowl - turned back in October at a Woodcraft class (the push/pull into the abyss). I was fortunate enough to get the lathe directly in front of the BIIIIIIIG window from the store - so the first time I ever took a tool to spinning wood I had 6 faces peering in at me :eek: . Was told it is butternut, approx. 6"X2.25", finished with Mahoney's Walnut Oil and then Beall'd. What looks like a nasty ding on the inside in the 'side' shot is actually just neat figuring, also had a loose inclusion or edge that I removed before mounting it on the lathe that almost gives it a NE look.

Should have more to show this week now that I have a photo tent and have figured out how to resize pics.

That's a nice looking bowl. Looks like your getting sucked into the abyss.

Once you get past that first one there's no stopping you!!
Looks great! I like Butternut, it often looks a lot like Chestnut.
The bowl has a pleasing shape and nice finish but it's that edge
that really gives it visual interest.
Looking forward to seeing number two, three, four, ....

Hey Pat - nice first bowl! Now that you have turned your first - it's probably to late to warn you about the dangers of the abyss. Welcome!

Great "First" Pat! I would have been nervous with all those eyes watching; that was pretty courageous of you. Very nice looking bowl. Looking forward to seeing more from you!
