    Ash Bowl - I finally think I got it!

    Nothing fancy but been messing with woodturning about 2-3 years after many years of flat work. I did make some decent bowls few years back but took lots of time and did lots of shaping with 60 grit. I finally joined a turning club about a year ago. A WN'r Bob Begstrom is a member of the club and mentored me. I was fortunate when I joined that they also had a slot available for lessons from Stuart Batty. This is my first turning that I felt like I was a real turner from start to finish ( and very little sanding needed). Once turned ash (not very wet) about 9"-10" diameter.:
