So I am thinking I'm going to have to take an in person class some where in my area to get the basics of the gouges. I decided to scrap my poplar laminated project entirely since it was just too far gone and not to liking. How ever with the red alder I purchased from a new local lumber supplier. Which is very nice but gotta drive a bit to get there. Either way started off of course I used only EWT tools for this. I finally FINALLY got a bowl shape that I can be completely happy with. I'm still currently working on it. Once I glued all 3 of the chunks of wood together. Half way through starting I realized oh I can get 2 bowls out of this one piece. So I cut the blank in half and started the work. Got a lot done on the first one but here are the photos.
