    Personnaly i would have got rather nervous getting to that stage with such large chunks missing but i am a very novice turner lol, do you not get kick back when turning or are you turning at a higher speed or slower speed , could be a valuble lesson learnt here for myself, thanks in advance.

    with my little helper, and then on the lathe......
    started out ok , but then a few cracks, voids and a big punky
    bit appeared anyway i carried on and did the bottom of
    what could be a bowl, not sure if this is going to work out.....
    any suggestions at this stage would gratefully received !!
    Still quite wet, but i don, t mind turning wet wood and gotta
    love a long weekend....still got tomorrow to finish off !!
    Thought a few piccy, s would help.....
    certainly made a mess but the shed smells nice now !

    Hi pratty,
    Once I had turned the tenon and bottom of the bowl
    I started turning the Inside and turned up the speed
    I heard a different sound like a clicking noise , that is
    why It, s important to listen to what is happening as
    well as watching.!....I did wrap It in plastic wrap but
    was not very sucessful, so I used masking tape which
    worked quite well,
    It Is still drying out and distorting quite a lot
    Don, t be nervous about turning things like this
    just be careful and enjoy yourself,,, at the end of
    the day It, s only a piece of wood
