    first bowl

    first bowl – turned on shopsmith – sycamore finished with shellawax then johnsons paste wax both burnished in on the lathe


    found out that if i fill it with M&Ms the flaws become much less noticeable!



    Thanks:

      Looks real good, what flaws? I left all my first ones unfinished, they weren't worthy.

          They are not "flaws"... They are character. Nice job!

                  Just make sure you're not turning bowls with the gouges that came with the Shopsmith. Get a their bowl gouge set or a 1/2 bowl gouge from packard, craft supply or PSI. Turning deep with spindle gouge is dangerous..
