Well I did it. I turned my first bowl. I got it roughed out and have it soaking in DNA now. I was so excited I took the first two pictures on the lathe and when I finished the inside roughing I put the bowl in the DNA before I thought to take the other two. Guess I was just to excited. I had a ton of fun and learned a lot this afternoon. I watched Bill's DVD again this morning before I started. The next one ought to go a lot faster.
One question I do have is how long would you leave the Elm bowl in the DNA before letting it dry and then wrapping it?
Thanks for all the help. I appreciate it.
