Well, I was a little burnt out on pens and stoppers since making quite a few for Christmas sales, but I still wanted to spend some time in the shop this weekend. I decided it was time to try something different. This is my first attempt at a bowl, and I have to say I am fairly pleased considering I have had absolutely no instruction whatsoever. The outside was mostly painless, but hollowing out the bowl was a different story. I actually had more trouble doing the finishing cuts on the inside with the scraper. I kept getting catches no matter how lightly I tried to cut. Obviously there is a technique I just haven't figured out yet. I guess it's time to get hooked up with my local turning club.
Anyway, here it is. Honduran Rosewood that I picked up at my local woodcraft for a couple bucks. Approx. 4 in. diameter by approx. 3 in tall.
