Beautiful ! Really Nice ! I'm glad to see this forum isn't only about pen turning. I am hoping to try my luck bowl turning as well as I had a nice cherry burl blank given to me today. Your bowl photos are a real inspiration.

Thanks everyone. Ron, I do it all on my mini Rikon. If you can turn a pen you can turn a bowl. Just need the right accessories.

Yeppers, gonna pick a bowl gouge at our January meeting down at Wood Werks. Should be all I need to go with chuck that I have.

Grizz, nicely done. I like the simple shape so the dramatic wood does all the talking.

I've tried a bowl gouge and can't get the handle of it. I use my monster tool for most the digging and a round nose scraper for finishing..... inside that is. Outside for the final cut I use a lancer style skew.

Great work.

Ah thank you for that info. I'm still working on just chucking up a 2x4 and trying that. I think I just need to go for it and see what happens.
