    Cedar bowl

    I spend a lot of time looking at every ones pictures but seldom post much myself. Well just finished a cedar bowl I thought I would share. I'm not a great turner but I am even worse at taking pictures.
    The bowl is 6 1/2" X 2 3/4". No finish just buffed and waxed.
    Thanks for looking. Any words of wisdom?

    You done good Steve, Cedar is a joy to turn. It turns like butter and makes the shop smell great.

    Don you killing me. My words of wisdom were going to be "send it to me!!!"
    Be a mentor, it's so much more fun throwing someone else into the vortex, than swirling it alone!

    Great bowl! Strangely enough, I made a nearly identical one several years ago, although it was just a little smaller than yours. It's a great form for the cedar and really sets off the sap and heart in a wonderful way. Bravo!

    Steve, Keep the bowl. After you turn for awhile then compare your bowls with this one and you will see the how you have change you turning skills from good to better. I like the top edge of this bowl.
