I was looking at a bowl for shaving soap to go with my shaving kits, when I got a crazy idea: maybe I could turn something? I'm the first to admit I'm a pen turner rather than a wood turner, but I hacked off a bit of cherry and stormed at it brandishing a spindle gouge. The result wasn't half bad for a first attempt. (Well, second - the first block of cherry landed in the bin but that's another story!) The inside surface is 'groovy', as I don't have any tool which might help smoothing those compound curves in there. The inside was all done with a scraper because the spindle gouge kept 'snatching'. The little pip on top of the lid is Jarrah.
C&C welcome.
