Well that will teach me to try and use a Carl Jacobson idea for inspiration, it took me ages! Anyway here is my take on one of Carl’s YouTube videos, it’s a 7” diameter 5” high horse chestnut pot with walnut lid and spalted beech handle - might have to try something a little easier next time [emoji6]?

A great effort, not having seen this video I will have to go and have a look as I am subscribed to him. The only thing that you have let yourself down is the inside. Keep going as it is good to be able to push yourself into unknown techniques it make you think. This will help in future turnings

Yeah - the wood was very dry and once it was in bits it was difficult to sand the inside as I had to do it manually - maybe if I did it again I would finish the inside before making the cone in the bowl or sharpen my tools more often.

It does pay to finish each section as you go especially if you can't go back to it

I think I missed this post earlier, but I think you have made a good job of it. It certainly looks complicated. There is always a temptation with something new like this to ‘get on with it’ . Missing finishing the internals when it was easier to do so is one of those things I have found myself doing so you have my sympathy.
