G'day-from an old beginner
Hello, a 60+ new turner who has never made anything with his hands in his life. In 3 months I can now make a bowl (not bad either). Practicing on getting thinner sides now. Good fun, relaxing and a good confidence builder. Look forward to asking lots of questions.

Well here is a pic of my first attempt. Big thick sides and a "few" toolmarks. But practice is fun. Don't have my own lathe but use one at the club a day a week.

Yes it is Camphor Laurel. Beautiful but can be difficult. The big bowl has lots of natural fissures in the wood that I found a bit unnerving initially but looks nice. Love the smell when I work with it.
