    Default New Turnings

    Finaly got to the shed today for the first time in ages, gotta love Uni holidays.

    The first one I tried to do something different. Its Huon Pine and i turned it kinda mushroom shape. It curves up uder the rim on the bottom.

    The second one is just a simple purple heart bowl. Nice wood to turn.

    Yeah, my favorite is the purple heart, an incredable piece of work.
    Very good work.

    Difficult to choose between them, Benji. Both very well done. What are the dimensions, pray tell?
