Well, as I stated in a previous thread, I turned my first bowl. I have no clue as to the kind of wood, I got it at our last local club meeting, and just decided to try something with it. As I said in the other post, my wife likes it, and that is all that counts for me.

Paul.........That's a nice first bowl. You managed to turn a rough equivalent of an NE which in my limited experience is more diffiult to turn because you don't have constant contact with the wood while turning it. Nicely done! On to the next one! And further more if SWMBO likes it...that's all that matters! Well done!

That's a great looking "first" bowl. It even has some artistic flair to it. Nice job!

That's a very fine first bowl. I don't like to brag, but my first bowl was quite a bit better .......... until I blew the damn thing up with a bowl gouge. (I guess you'll just have to take my word for it.

Nice first bowl Paul! I have no idea of kind of wood - just be sure to take it with you on your next club meeting - for Show & Tell - and you should be able to find out what kind it is at that time. Nice work - looking forward to seeing bowl #2!

If you are nervous about showing friends and family fill it full of whole cashews and it will be great!
Keep at it this is a wonderful start.

Nice first Paul. I like the NE rim.

One thing to keep in mind Paul, is that we are our own worst critics. We know each and evey little flaw that is in the pieces that we do not everyone else will. Your bowl looks fine to me, remember the flea market saying "one mans trash is another man's treasure." Keep on turning.
