It is a nice shape bowl Phill but I think you need to spend a bit more time sanding it has effected the overall look of the finished bowl please take a good look inside and you will see what I'm saying light and dark rings on the side and a some remains of a tear in the wood on the bottom sorry mate but I'm sure you would rather I be honest with you I'm only telling you because I know you can do better
I went to specsavers PhillThought peoples eyesight was supposed to fade as they got older :contacts:
You've got eyes like the proverbial outhouse rat haven't you.
I spent ages sanding that and couldn't seem to get it any better, I will be looking for advice next time I'm over your way !
And you're right I wouldn't want you not to say anything, that's why I put my work up here, for honest critique.
Phil,
Its a good practical bowl. Did you cut or scrape the rim flat?
Cut it inside to outside with the bowl gouge trying to take really fine cuts, why?
