    Default My first couple of real bowls.

    Hi all,
    I've been having a bit of a play on the Lathe at the community shed & after a few round pieces of firewood for practice i got stuck in & made these three bowls The first 2 are Macrocarpa & the other is Tas Blackwood. The have all been finished with shellawax.
    A big thanks goes out to John T for his patients & instruction

    Hey Rattrap,
    Those are all excellent looking bowls with a fine finish on each one
    Nice choices of wood too.

    Thanks very much everyone for the many kind words.
    I really do enjoy working on the lathe, I particularly like to turn the Macrocarpa, its a nice soft forgiving wood with some really eye catching grain.
