Bowl number 1, not quite finished

[GeekMom]

Couldn't wait to post pictures. Have to wait to finish the bottom, but you can get an idea of what it looks like. It's about 4 1/2" dia. x 2" tall, made of Tipa Colorado. Learned a LOT - like I really need to learn to sharpen my tools, sawdust packs into deeper scratches so the bowl feels smooth when it's not, and sanding is ROUGH on longer fingernails!
Thanks for looking, and for all the great information you all give!






The pictures seem to show scratches on the side. I think it's reflection, though? Can't see them in the daylight.

Darn nice design. The bowl has a good amount of "float" which means that it does not look like it is welded to the table.

Beautiful Bowl, Karen. I'm not noticing any scratches. We can notice our oops' when no one else can. Thank you for letting us see it.

Karen, that is beautiful for a 100th bowl, fantastic for a first. Looks like a natural talent.

I am jealous... My first bowl came flying of the lathe in pieces. Nice work!

[GeekMom]

WOW! Thank you for all your kind compliments! [:I] I had so much FUN making this.

Yes, Ken, I used my Shopsmith: bandsaw and lathe.

Very very nice. A thing of beauty and a joy to behold.

[Jim Boyd]

Better than my first bowl What kinda wood is this Tipa Colorado? Something that is only available from the highest peaks in Colorado on sunny Tuesdays?
