Remember that branding question I asked a few weeks ago? Well, I need to get those bowls done, but haven't turned a thing since September 3 (real life is just too busy sometimes!) so I was a bit nervous about making mistakes. Some practice was in order, so I grabbed a rough-turned red maple blank and 45 minutes later I was putting some mineral oil on this one (~7 inches). If you want to get picky I'll admit the outside curve isn't perfect, but it will make a nice lemon-wedge bowl on Thanksgiving. Turning is like riding a bike, the motions feel so automatic!
Thanks for looking.
