I turned my first "real bowl" as a Christmas gift after having only turned pens. it was my attempt at a mortise an pestle.
The wood is oak from a slab a friend gave me 4-5 years ago. It sat in my basement shop the entire time so it was good and dry.
It was turned on a 4" faceplate with a sacrificial plate. The blank started as a 5x5 block that was rounded on the bandsaw.
A lot was learned as soon as my nerves settled down.
Thanks for looking ...PJ
