They all look good to me Andy
Your finishing will improve as you go along.Though it is the part i don't enjoy

Nice work, Andy ... they look really good !

8) 8)

All super but I think the spalted Lime just wins by a head.

Nice bowls Andy,
focusing on the camera needs to be looked at though.
You might be a little too close to the bowls to enable the camera's autofocus to operate successfully move back a little and they should be a bit sharper.
Good on the wood though. :lol:

Hi Andy,

Quite a difficult profile to start on the early days ! quite a tight transition from side to base,

Give us a few details, are you mounting on a chuck ? or face plate, Are you reversing the peice to clean up from a plate, removal of spigot, or using a recess and decorating, removing it ?

How is lime to turn ? - i never had any.

Cheers

Loz,


ps - see if youre camera has a "macro" button for close up shots.

loz dont know if i am doing it rite way,first id do the out side mounted on the screw that came with the chuck,then cut the recess for the chuck.to do inside i do as normal to get it tight to the side i come from the centre to the side,then from the top to the bottom keeping the gouge on the bevel.doing it this way you got to be very carefull as the gouge digs in.
with my lathe its a pane to turn as i need to lean over the bed all the time,and the tail stock keeps getting in the way.as for the lime its nice to turn and the smell is lovely.
hope that help
