I finished my second one. Made a few mistakes. I wanted to make the bottom a checkered pattern. Half way through the first cut it hit me that there are only five pieces and I needed six to make the checkered pattern. I made the rest of the cuts and put a thin walnut strip in. I wanted to make the inside a barrel like the outside but was having trouble so I left it straight. It is 13” in diameter and 5” tall.

 

Nice looking bowl Rusty. Looks like you are getting a good feel for that new toy

Nice! I really like the pattern on the bottom. Curving the inside will come with practice. The scraper will come in handy for that. 

You're fast approaching "PRO" status on those.  Very nice.

Nice shape on that, 13" is nice a size too.

AWESOME!!!

 

Just no stopping you on this segmenting and they keep getting bigger

Looks like you are having a lot of fun with the new lathe and figuring out the pattern scheme for these bowls Rusty.  Keep 'em coming!

Cal you are real close to where I used to live. I used to live in Livermore.

Not sure who you have me confused with Rusty.  I've traveled most of the back roads in middle Georgia, never heard of Livermore, GA...
