After a month long break from turning I had a chance to get back into the shop. I grabbed a piece of pine from my cousin's firewood pile to practice some techniques on and didn't realize it was blue pine until I cut into it. I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out though next time I'll have a more gradual slope on the sides. The bowl is 10" across. It cut quite nice with minimal tearout, where I did have a bit of a problem I soaked in sanding sealer before making a final cut. It is finished with two thin coats of sanding sealer then some wax. I've made room in the car to snag a few more pieces of this pine the next time I visit my cousin.
