Another WIP - Red Alder N. E. Bowl

[Grumpy John]

I took Jim's advice with this one and mounted it between centres. Much easier, thanks for the tip Jim :2tsup:. Also flooded the bark with CA before it had a chance to come off. Looking pretty good so far, 280mm dia with a nice even 30mm wall thickness. I hope to get the wall thickness under 12mm when it's dry.

The lathe is a Jet 1642.

The "pipe" is an extendable magnet,for when I drop screws and small chuck jaws into the shavings :doh:.
