Good friend and fellow Creeker Rob Sitze called and said he could use a hand doing his bearing replacement on his Jet. As payment, he let me use his lathe since mine is sold, the movers have packed everything and I'm in an apartment for 3 months. We had a great day talking shop and the White Oak blank I picked up at our last turners guild was a nice piece of wood. No pics of the day but here is the bowl. I did another ring base that I really like and, as this isn't a utility bowl, the rim tilts out. Finish is Robs homemade secret formula. The blank had some bad punky areas but I like the bowl overall. And, to boot, Rob bought lunch. Great day. Comments and criticism appreciated.
P.S. Sorry about the pics, it's from my iPhone.
