My first bowl rough-out.

[dustytools]

This was roughed out of a piece of Box Elder with really neat grain and a little spalting. Just wanted to post some pictures of my "First Time" before I bag it up with some shavings to dry. Thanks for looking, Terry. View attachment 98035

Love the hunk of wood, I've seen some spalted maple that looks similar but with less on the red tone.

Nice looking bowl!

Very nice looking bowl and wood. 1 word of advise. Next rough out use a tenon instead of a recess. The reason is after the bowl has dried and you want to put it back on the lathe it is a lot easier to true up a tenon.

Looks great. I just got a lathe that I need to re-power. I haven't used one in about 30 years so it should be fun.

Nice job Terry - I was always a dry wood bowl turner, never had the patience to wait for the roughed out ones to dry -
