Hi all...

I have turned a couple of pens and decided to attempt to turn a bowl... a whole different set of potential problems.. but it went quite well I think for a beginner... and my wife is chuffed with it (and as we all know... That's what really matters!)

From this

and the finished result amongst its shavings...

I learnt a lot along the way and would probably do a couple of things differently... but it was fun!
