Here is my first attempt at a lidded bowl. I think this wood is pecan. I found it in fron of a ladys house in Grandview Texas and she said I could take it:D . Ther were a total of 7 pieces 14 to 20 inches long and about 22 inches in Diameter. I am going to give this to her as a thank you. Im starting to really like this spinny tool thingy my FIL gave me.
Robert -
Nice looking bowl - good lines and proportions.

Nice work Robert. I'm getting the urge to blow the dust of of my lathe and turn something.
Pretty wood and a nice clean design. I like making lidded bowls and people like them too. The lady is really going to appreciate that gift.
Very nice, Robert.
She will definitely love it.

Now I like that, and I bet she will too. Keep it up, and send more pictures. I turn a lot of pecan.
As sharp as that is---gift wrap it for her.
That's a beautiful piece, Robert, and the wood you used has a lot of nice character that really sets it off! I'm looking forward to seeing more pieces from that stock. BTW, you're doing the right thing by giving the woman something...not only is it courtious, but it will likely bring you more wood over time. People like to get nice things.
Very nice, Robert. What did the final dimensions end up being?

Hi Robert
I allways liked lidded bowls. That is a nice one!
You don't mention what size the lidded bowl is.
Thanks
Hi Robert,
That is a beautiful bowl and a great gesture.
Very Very Nice! No one would ever know that was your first lid piece!
Thanks to all, I don't think it would have turned out as good if not for the tips and inspiration I get from the good folks here. I look and every pic ya"ll post and few of them totally perplex me as to how it was accomplished.
To add a gloat SWMBO let me buy a riser block for my Ridgid bandsaw so now I can start cutting bigger blanks.
The dimensions of the bowl are 6" diameter and 4" tall to top of knob.
