    Turned my first natural edge bowl

    Well jumped off the deep end this morning and turned a natural edge bowl out of mesquite.

    Much thanks goes to Bill Grumbine for all the great info he has on his web site about turning both natural edge bowls and I built and used a version of his clamp to finish the bottom of this bowl.

    Also thanks to "The old Rebel" for his advice on sharpening and using scrapers, had almost no sanding to do on this bowl.

    Thanks for looking, Hopefully watch this space for more to come

    Hey Ace, looking good...

    Do you remember how to do flat work any more?

    Noah
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; wheter by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easeir because you have lived. This is the meaning of success.

    Man when you go off the deep end you aim to drown Ace! Really nice work.

    Ace,

    You must have started that right after we talked about it in Chat. Looks great! Any words of advise for the first time?

    Ace,

    Dude...step away from the lathe. It has taken over your life. Seek help immediately!!!!!

    Seriously, great work. You are a "natural" at this turning deal.
