First Bowl
Team, here is my first bowl, pressie for mother-in-law, keep in good books. Cherry lipped Zebrano finished with shellawax at 1800rpm. scraped inside for about 20min to remove all tool marks, and sanded for another 10 up to 600gr. I was a little nervous so didnt go too mad on thinning the walls. I had 1day to finish before sticking in mail to said outlaw
Critique please.

Pretty good for a first go and with a contrasting rim too. Should get some brownie points.
Regards
John

What is the bit of timber on the rim? And why is it there?

That's pretty good for a first bowl mate. My first bowl never became a bowl just a missile that put a dent in my beer fridge.

Well done on your first bowl.
I am not sure on the lip of the bowl but love the grain patten on the bowl. How big is the bowl?

For a first bowl, that is very good. I have seen quite experienced turners do not much better. I hope that comes across as a compliment.
My first bowl was absolutely crap compared to that, as was my 20th bowl.
Well done
Sincerely
Willy

It's cherry and I thought it would look good. It's not there for anything other than i got carried away with spare timber laying around.

Thank you all for the great compliments, yes the Zebra wood does have a sensational looking pattern on its own and next time I will not add any extras. The diameter is about 90mm and 50mm high.

A pretty good first effort Fumbler. I wish my first attempt had been that good.
Cheers, Paul

Looks great. I'm sure your MIL will love it.
But isn't that like giving away your firstborn? I was so pleased when my first bowl turned out well that it wasn't going to anyone - pride of place on the kitchen display cabinet!
