I haven't turned a bowl in yonks :doh:
So I had a play in the shed this arvo with some camphor Laurel from MIL's place
I thought I'd show you lot. About 140 mm diameter, finished with shellawax.

I'm having dinner at a mate's place in Canberra on Monday - thought I'd give it to his better half. Should get me brownie points :U
Also I thought I'd show Wheelin' that I know how to take the pen mandrel out of the lathe :o:q
PS looking at those piccies I need either a lens or a sensor clean

Nick...you've nailed the shape, nicely curved, and finished well - you get a 9 out of 10 for this one!
The mate's wife will surely appreciate the gift.

Nick, Nick, what were you thinking? :no: Hopeless, ruddy hopeless, you had better send all your CL blanks to me and give the bowl idea away entirely. :U

Hey Sawdust Maker
I know when I did my bowl my shed smelt good so I scooped up all the shavings bagged them up and gave out and the ladys loved it :)

Nice bowl :2tsup:
I'm thinking of buying a lathe soon and making bowls. Would this sort of project be hard for a beginner?
