My first bowl

[JasonM]

Been turning pens for a number of years now. But I finally got to take the bowl turning class I've always wanted to take. A whole new world of non-mandrel turning has opened up. =)

The bowl gouge is still a little daunting to me, but what fun!

The bowl is walnut. For the time being it's just got a little beeswax polish on it from the class. I plan to do something with a little higher gloss to it this coming weekend.

Nice looking bowl.

Nicely done. You gave yourself an extra challenge by turning a closed form bowl rather then open form, but pulled it off great!

Very nice; closed forms are always more interesting . . .

 

[jbostian]

Very nice. Where did you take the class?

Excellent first bowl Jason.
You are hooked now that you have discovered the wonderful world of turning that comes after pens.

 

[Nate Davey]

Nicely done. I totally understand the daunting chisel part

Nice bowl ,looks better than my first. I guess the class payed off.

Thanks everyone!

jbostian - It was a one day class at the local Woodcraft.

William - as you probably guessed, "hooked" falls shot in description. Practicing with the gouge on scraps currently, but I've already have several inexpensive bowl blanks lined up to play with.

Mac - I guess I sould say my first "recognizable" bowl. Earlier failed attempts to teach myself via books and videos are what prompted taking the class. =)

Nice looking bowl. It's hard to believe that it is your first one. I'll be looking for more to come.
