Wow, Robert! You are getting better and better at this! Nothing wrong with faceplate turning. It was done that way for a long time before chucks were invented!

Hope you don't mind me helping you out with the picture!

Hi Robert, nice Job on the bowl, now you are going to want to cut down any tree you can so you can turn more bowls, we turn on average 600 - 1000 bowls a year and I love harvesting and turning bowls, I do this for a business and I have a helper, my brother in law so it is the 2 of us that do all the bowls, it is a job I never got tired of, I like th egrain in your bowl too, keep up the good work.
Aloha.

Chris
