    Default first bowl

    first attempt at a finished bowl its 180x30mm piece of camphour sanded to 400 then eee ultra, finished with shellawax

    Still a little thicker than I'd like but I seem to have to heavy a hand and I'm very good at destruction of thin walls. Practice! practice! practice!

    My 1st bowl was in Camphor ! Such nice grain, I like the finish, really shows it off nicely.
