    That's a fine looking bowl, you will appreciate a bigger gouge.

    Really nice bowl. I agree with larger gouge and I don't think you can sharpen too much. Keep posting your work. Even if you don't like something there is probably something good that will be pointed out for you to put in your memory bank.

    I think the bowl looks nice. Good form and the finish is good as well. Do what I did, move your grinder as close to the lathe as possible then you won't feel that it is a pain to have to sharpen. The sharper the tool the better the results. Keep them coming.

    Nice looking bowl. You got some good advise about geting a larger gouge, especially for roughing and the hard wood down to the finish cuts. Getting those long skinny shavings are fun. You got to be hooked now.
