Here's a quick and dirty bowl, from Pinus Crapiartis.Pine Bowl.jpg Pine Bowl 02.jpg
If you look closely, there is tear out near the center. All pines can be interesting to get a good finish off the tools
My wife wanted a couple of bowls for an art experiment.Pat

You can sharpen your skew on a piece of 180 or 220 grit sandpaper on the bed of your lathe or anything smooth and flat. Also works with spindle gouges but is a bit more difficult pulling the gouge away while rotating to get the whole edge.
You must learn to sharpen in order to turn. Slicing off works better than ripping off with a dull tool.So much timber, so little time.
