    Bowl #2

    Hello, Everyone. This is my second attempt at turning a bowl. I used the same blank ( 6 1/2 by 2 1/2) as my first bowl but tried to give it a lower and wider profile. This piece was darker and has more figure than the first one. I finished with Minwax Antique Oil and Beal buffed. On another note, I bought 2 cherry blanks from someone in classifieds and the blank cracked all over the place after an initial roughdown. I guess that's why you don't use blanks that still have the pith in. I'm learning!

    Ed,

    That is one nice looking bowl! That would be great for the 100th attempt, let alone the 2nd!

    Great job!

    Ed, I don't know what you paid for the 2 pieces, but this bowl probably more than made up for both of them...very nice piece of wood, and you turned it well.

    Great looking bowls Ed-- The birds eye, color and form really make it special.

    Spinning is good on a lathe, not good in a Miata.
