Bowls, boxes, some table legs such as coffee or hall tables, etc
OK Rich, my advice would be buy a decent Oneway 4 jaw chuck, a 1/2" bowl gouge (probably sorby or that quality level), a Parting tool, a 3/4" spindle roughing gouge, a 3/8" spindle gouge and a skew to start. you will also need some sort of grinder, be it wet or dry and the right jigs to grind consistenly helps.
