Bubinga bowl

[Claude Arragon]

This vase is the end-of-week project of a beginner after a 4 days training program. Passionate, he came with his own wood asking if it was good to be turned. I told him to keep it until the en of the week, and he turned it Friday.
It is Bubinga.
As you can see he really grasped all the basics of wood turning.
I wanted to share it with you.

Claude, he did a wonderful job. The form reminds me of one of my first bowls in Sweetgum. Please pass on my compliments to him.:)

[Mandell Mann]

That's a very cool bowl. Keep up the good work.:)

[George Conklin]

Would Bubinga be considered an "exotic"?

[Paul Engle]

Very nice Claude, I like the bead at the rim. He done good.

[Bernie Weishapl]

That bowl is a beauty. Claude tell him I wish my first bowl looked that good. I like the bead around the rim and finish. He did a nice job.

[Michael Gibbons]

Someday I"ll be good enough to...

[Tom Sherman]

A very nice bowl indeed

[Ken Fitzgerald]

In 4 days of lessons, your student learned a lot! Well done!

[Jonathon Spafford]

Really nice bowl... my first bowls didn't turn out that nice! He should be proud of himself!

[John Chandler]

I hope I find an instructor that will have me turning out something that nice after 4 days. Good job.

[Andy Livingston]

Nice of you to give all the credit to the student. That bowl came from some great instruction!
