New Bowl Gouge!!!!!!!

[1JaredSchmidt]

We went to Rockler today in Minneapolis and they had any one item 25% off. Dad bought me Robert Sorby 3/8" bowl gouge for my birthday. It was $66.99 regular,but with the 25% off,it was about $50. Can't wait to turn a bowl with it. They also had wood on sale so I bought a board of purpleheart 3/4"x4"x36" for $10. Have to post a pic of the bowl I was already roughing out. Thanks!

Happy Birthday, Jared. Nice Birthday gift. Now make your dad something interesting.

Congratulations on the bowl gouge. We need pictures.

I'll try to get some pics on at lunchtime. Only had 2 catches this morning,didn't wreck anything though.

Wow, nice gift. I know I'm a lot older than you but is there any chance your dad would take me to Rockler and buy me a bowl gouge?
Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Jared

You know it needs to be sharpen before you use it.

I'll wreck the bevel if I do it on the grinder. I did hone it up a little. It came pretty sharp. I won't be able to get any pics on until the end of the week. I'll hurry as fast as I can though[][][8D]
