Matt, why should we tear you down, when it is a good effort. Yes the top is a bit off centre, but it looks in proportion to the base. Why did you only sand to 40 or was that supposed to be 400 grit? The blue food dye looks very different, but it works.
If all else fails, this is the practice piece to get yourself familiar with the concept, thus most of my stuff are still proof of concept . . . that is the concept of me turning anything is possiblePat

The former is like a pair of flat jaws, hinged at one end and the hat is placed upside down in the other. The side grain has to be against the jaws and rubber bands are stretched over the hat to pull the brim down on the sides. Then a pair of clamps across the jaws and apply pressure. As the hat dries the clamps are tightened and after a couple of weeks it is oval.

punky Tassie Myrtle bowl
Hi all
Another bowl
Left this one very simple to let the wood speak for itself.
Parts of the pink bit through the middle were very soft and no matter what I tried I couldnt get it to stop tearing out....utill I soaked it in CA, after a light scrape the surface was good enough for sanding

That is one nice bowl!
I like everything about this. You got the shape right and it shows off the grain almost perfectly. Nice little spalted area just to create some extra visual interest. Nice foot and the curves are really good. Way to go!

Rustic effort
This was done out of one of Calm's kind donations at the last turnfest in Melb.
Timber was greenish and cracked through in several places. Had some beaut purple streaks which didn't survive the light or DO finish. Had a lovely mint scent.
Technically it's poor. Wall thickness is uneven; nat. edge is uneven; wall is thick and had to be so as one crack ran right through the tenon.
But it's one of those lumps that survive our ham fisted efforts. Looks kinda volcanic.Cheers, Ern

Bloody hell, it looks scary like it might have thrown bits at you while you were turning it.

If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

Yeah Cliff, it did erupt when I was cleaning up the foot. Went to reduce the nub at the tailstock end and it broke away leaving the bowl rattling around the between friction drive and live centre.

horses for courses Ern,
.
There's a section of the community that loves this kinda of turning. At the other end of the spectrum its just firewood.
All in all it turned out well. A piece of character.

Betcha you had a few nervous moments turning it, its got a real natural sense about it. Sort of reminds me of a crustation... turn it upside down and put some sectioned legs on it and a set of claws!(like a crab)
