My very first (ok, second - the first bowl exploded on the lathe:BangHead turned object:

 

[Matt]

That was soo much fun, I tried it again...

Sharp Matt, it turned out fine!

Very colorful, must be the cedar you snatched up:mrgreen:

Yup, those were a couple of the logs in the back of my truck that day we had lunch.

 

[Monty]

You're off to a great start! My first bowl won't sit flat on the table like that...

 

[NCPete]

Great looking bowl Matt! How did you finish it?

 

[cskipper]

You did a great job! How did you finish it?

 

[JRD]

EXCELLENT!

Now that you've come over to the "turned side" of the force, there's no going back!

Really, a first class job. Keep at it.

Nice job Matt! Looks like you've been turning for a while.

Great looking bowls Matt. You did a nice job on them. I guess your trip to the Fayetteville art museum must have inspired you. Now you need to turn one of those big honking vases.:lol:

Nice work. I may have to stop pens for a while and try some bowls.

 

[Greybeard]

Matt, they look great! If those were your first bowls, they came out really nice! I really like the cedar, the colors are beautiful! The slippery slide has begun! Keep up the great work! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

 

[Matt]

You did a great job! How did you finish it?

Thanks for the compliments!!
The finish on the first one is too many coats of Waterlox (I lost count:drunken_s)

The second has 3 coats. 0000 steel wool between coats.

Nice bowl Matt - we should start a turners anonamous to avoid sliding down the slippery slope:lol:

 

[NCPete]

DavidF, are you sure that wouldn't just grease the slope???:lol:

 

[DavidF]

Uhmm, Possibly, a three martini lunch and who knows what plan we might hatch!!!
