Here is the first actual project I turned on the lathe. It is a yarn bowl. I will do another and put the squiggly gap in it when I have turned a couple of more items.
I will not be turning again till I can solve a couple of things I discovered while doing this. I need to get the sharpening wheels for the grinder, and I need to learn to properly plunge cut a bowl. Well, maybe I will work on a top next, or an Amish Henry. I do want to get some welding wire to blacken the little gaps at the top and bottom with. I also would like to sort out a bit more safety, and I would finally like to use dry wood for the next project, and see how it differs from this wet project that will likely crack and warp.
Still, it was quite fun!
