Hi Guys, moved into my new shop yesterday and started to learn how to turn. Today I finished my first bowl and it came out pretty good (at least to me). What do you think?

It looks pretty good to me also.
Looks great...I think you're gonna be just fine!
Looks really good! You have fun??
Nice shape. Nice lathe also. I noticed that you are using a face plate. Now you need to make some jam plates to work with your face plate to turn off the bottom between centers. It looks like you have a lot of fun ahead of you. Congratulations. Make sure you date and put #1 on it for later comparison. It sure looks better than my #1.
w`ill you be giving lessons anytime soon?max
Wish my first bowl had turned out half as good.............
very nice, enjoy
What Mike Gibson said... My first sure didn't look that good.
That is a great looking bowl. My first bowl was a reasonable facsimile of a dog bowl. Keep up the good work and have fun.
Great looking bowl for a first. Keep at it and have fun.
Thank you all, Youtube is a great teacher.
To have a great teacher, you have to have a good student.
I'd say it looks good so far, but would need to see it "done" (off the lathe with finish) to give an honest opinion. The shape looks very nice...especially for a first bowl. Usually first bowls have very steep sides with a flat bottom. I like that you made more of a hemispherical shape. A little more info like size and kind of wood would be appreciated. Looking forward to more pics!
Hi Mike, starting the sanding and finishing process today. Still undecided about what to finish with. Will post photos and spec's upon completion.
