Large Black Walnut bowl

[Roger Chandler]

Well, as per John K's instruction [I hope to get them correct] I am attempting to post a picture of a large Black Walnut bowl- 13"x 6-1/2" high.

Some of the wood was a bit punky, and it left tool marks that I could not sand out, as the punky wood tore and did not cut,[even though I did sharpen a good bit]

It looks like it worked!

Thanks John! Also the turning was about 15 months ago, and was when I had my old lathe, and less tools and experience as it relates to "round and brown." I now have a second bevel on my bowl gouges that no longer leave tool marks and better grinding wheels [all thanks to the wonderful info I have gotten here on SMC from some of the nicest folks on this planet!]

Thanks to everyone who has helped me along the way!
