It's been 6 months since I've been swirling in the vortex.... enjoyed every minute of it. I just finished the Grumbine video and thought I would try the techniques I found there, and this is the result. 9.5" by 5" deep, finished with antique oil and buffed. The pictures don't really do it justice.
I think this is my best bowl, thanks to Bill for a great video. If you are somewhat new to turning as I am, I think you will love this video!

Steve - great looking bowl! Really like the form and finish! You are right about Bill's video! I've had mine for about 10 months now and I am still learning things from it! Have fun! Looking forward to seeing some more bowls from you!

And I did not even get you anything. Beautiful bowl. I have seen at least a dozen turning video's and I will have to say hands down Bill's first turning video is the best bowl turning video I have seen. 1/2 the videos I have seen I swear my turning got worse after watching them. After Bill's it got better.

Beautiful job Steven...I also have both of Bill Grumbines videos and they have helped me a lot...I still go back to them for reference ... You should be proud of your efforts after only 6 months and great photography to boot...well done!
