I'm Back!

Been a while Since I last posted. Here is what I have been working on.

Bowls: I bought some exotic hardwoods (Woodcraft) to try my hand at bowl making and managed to screw them up. The marblewood bowl shattered while I was turning the inside of the bowl. The fruitwood I was careless and turned through the bottom of the bowl.





So catastrophic fail on the bowls.

I will post more tomorrow....promise

    I love that tool rest. Where did you get it? Beautiful choice of wood. I'm sure it will work out better next time.

    you can order that tool rest from Lee Valley Tools
    http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=46452&cat=1,330,49238&ap=1

    it is part of a modular set you can but piece by piece or get the whole kit and only have to swap out the bars as they all fit on the same threaded post. Hope this helps
