Very nice! Looks like you had no checking problems. Did you soak it in anything or just paper bag it?

Nice job. Don't worry about it not being relaxing. Just like anything else, the more of them you do the more relaxing it will become.

Very nice especially with a 1st time effort.
I am also working on my 1st bowl...using walnut. Hopefully I'll finish it tomorrow.

Great Job! Way better than my first bowl. I like doing pens but I like bowls and vessels too.

Bernie,
Great piece.. I like working with maple... maybe 'cause I had a 3' diameter tree fall in my back yard a few years back and I still have a ton or two of wood to work up... Mine is dry and spalting and sometimes I get pieces that are almost beyond their useful life, but has some incredible spalting marks.
I find the bowls and peppermills and such to be as much if not more relaxing as doing pens.. 'course if I can run my lathe, I'm happy.

Nice looking bowl. I really like working with maple, it turns so easily. I dye it for a change of space sometimes.

Dying maple
I have a lot of curly maple that I think wood make great pen blanks. I saw your post about dying maple and wondered if you could share your technique or point me in the right direction on what to try.
Thanks for your help.
