Hey, that ain't no laughin matter. Pretty good lookin to me. How many segments per row?

[cjrolke]

well that bowl was just scrap wood glued together i am planing on doing a segmented bowl whem my new chisels come in

i want to have some fun with this

[Sawduster]

Yeah, after I posted I went back took a closer look and noted that there didn't seem to be many joints, so figured it was a glued up block. Many of my first turnings, several years ago, were done that way. Still looks darned good.

Cool beans daddy-o!

If I may... a couple things on the pic...

Make the pic smaller... right now it's 1024 X 768 pixels... shoot for no number larger than 800 and it'll fit in the screen better and load a little quicker...

Also, take the pic more looking at the side of the bowl, rather than straight down into the bowl like that pic...

You're off to a great start ... Just having a first turning look like a bowl was beyond me!

Pretty good looking first bowl there. Looks like you have a decent start on this craft.

BTW, this bowl is no laughing matter.
