Bowls 2 & 3
I picked up a VM100 and bowl jaws at the Canberra wood show so can finish the base on my bowls now
... got the insert in the mail today (ran out of M30's at the show) so headed out to the shed this afternoon and finished these two off. Camphor & Sheoak finished with EEE and Glow. Early days in my bowl turning so any criticism/comments are appreciated... I'm here to learn

You've nailed those two Corbs.
Simple clean lines and beautifully finished.

The simple forms show the timber off to best advantage. Nice!

Nice work Andrew.
Not a big fan of the shape of the first one, what we call a brake drum, second one is more pleasing to the eye.

Look great
Love the grain in the sheoak piece in the fourth photo. Just spectacular the way it wraps around the base of the bowl.
Cheers,
Dave...but together with the coffee civility flowed back into him

It may just appear that way in the pics, but the rim(s) seem to fall away to the outside of the bowl. The overall shape would benefit from either a level rim or slanted toward the inside a bit.Cheers,

Thanks guys... the rims are flat but so I guess my photography let me down there
... will avoid turning more brake drums though from now on
I have two lathes now so should still be able to keep up with the pen turning, just will have a lump of wood on the other lathe as well now

Hello Corbs
Yep I agree with Jim Carrols comments regarding the shape of the camphor bowl, but given that these are some of your first bowls, you should be very pleased. The second bowl, the Sheoak is excellent well done. Awesome grain and the finish you have used really shows it off.
Might I suggest that you do not date your pieces...? Up to you.
I too, enjoy having two lathes as it means I can wait for glue or a finish to dry on one whilst I work on the other.

Willy, any particular reason behind not dating them? I was thinking that I would be able to trace where I came from but then I guess if you're selling then its pretty obvious how long a bowl has been sitting on the shelf for

I too am interested in discussion about advantages and disadvantages of dating or numbering finished pieces.
So much timber, so little time.
