I think it's excellent for your first try. What's that at the bottom?

Thank you for all of your comments much appreciated.

The bottom is a walnut plug I put in I accidentally drilled a hole so I decided I would plug it with a contrasting wood. I kind of like it so I think I will put in in all my bowls kind of like a signature.

I think it is hackberry at least that was what I wast told. Again I am a nub. so if you think it is something else please let me know I hate to say it is one thing when it is not. Thanks

Nice bowl for your first try, the inside could stand a bit of refinement but the finish looks good and the shape is pleasing to my eyes. Inside are the most difficult part of a bowl, if you can find an inside scraper, one with the left edge ground on a curve they help, Shear scraping is good too once it's mastered but that takes a while.

Nice work. I like the amount of candy it will hold. Remind me, however, not to use Hackberry for pen blank. Wait, I looked at the last picture first. Now that I have seen the first and finished picture, I like it. Sorry. I need some Hackberry now. Would you like to trade some Ebony, guaranteed to split, for some Hackberry?

Nice looking bowl Craig, beats the heck out of my first bowl! You did a great job on that one.
