    I'm glad that your weren't' injured. Too bad, that was an interesting design that had potential.

    Finally, a photo of something that I think I can do!

    Sorry about the design opportunity.

    Sorry that happened, Leo, but it is somewhat consoling to know it happens to really good turners also.

    Leo, it looks like this will give you the opportunity to try out a new piece of wood.

    Leo, hey I can do that. I hate that famous last cut. Looks like that was going to be a interesting piece.

    Leo - did you make that last cut just so you could show the kids how to make the most out of a design opportunity?

    If so - I am looking forward to seeing how you go about turning this into a work of art!

    If not - I am sorry for your loss.

    I am also glad you were not hurt!

    That is why I like thick bowls.

    Leo, I think I would have used a few stronger words. Does look like it would have been an interesting piece.

    I am so glad to see this. I know that sounds awful but don't take it the wrong way. Sometimes I feel like I do nothing but fight this kind of stuff whenever I'm at the lathe. It's good to know that it's not just me and that these things can happen to even the most experienced of turners. So, even though I'm sorry about the mishap and very glad you did not end up with part of the bowl imbedded in your flesh, I would like to thank you for posting this. Somehow, now I don't feel so bad....

    Leo, I am sorry this happened to you, but like a lot of other folks here I am a little relieved to see this can happen to the best of turners.

    I'm so sorry, Leo. Having had something comparable to this recently, I can empathize with you.

    From Leo's previous comments, I am betting this one is firewood! I know for me, the zeal would be gone, and it would be on to the next piece of wood.

    I'm sorry but thanks for making us all feel better.(or at least me) Looks like another piece of your elm. Hopefully it wasn't the best piece!
