This is one of my first attempts at turning a bowl. This particular piece of black walnut had a lot of swirling grain, and was originally supposed to be about 1/3 larger than it turned out.
While turning, chunks began to break off during the hollowing, and a large piece actually got sucked up into the impellar of my dust collector, and got wedged in the fan housing and blew out the motor on the DC. I had to have it repaired, so I was glad to have this one over with [I gave it to my mother-in-law ]
