My First Bowl

[cozee]

I turned this for a donation to the Carpenter's Local which hosts our wood turning club. They have a ceremony coming up in which they have bowls of candy setting around. The club president thought it would be a great way of saying "Thanks!" for hosting our club so we were challenged to turn a bowl for it.

Spalted Sweet Gum with slight curl about 5" in diameter. Finished with Enduro.

Very nice! Pretty doesn't seem like a word a "real man" uses but that is really pretty.

Nice bowl, but you really should hold onto that one. Turn a second one for the gift. As you turn more bowls, you can always look back at your first to see how far you've progressed...

Well, the bowl was donated before I posted here so it is gone. And there will always be another. Anyway, if I kept my every first of all I have done, am doing, and will do, I'd have no room!! Good thing I don't as there are a few firsts I am sure my wife would not approve of me keeping!!!!
