first time on the square

[woodhacker]

Thought it was time to advance a little more and try something new.
So after making a little firewood (which is my normal thing) came up with these two.
As per norm the photos are crappy.

Photos dont do them justice nor do they show the curves very well.

I'm pleased you've branched out a bit & tried something different. You've certainly made a good start with these two little bowls. Onwards & upwards Peter.

Ok Peter i am going to say a good first go at turning a bowl with corners. Having said that a little chunkie for my taste but getting them thin is something that will come with practice. Something else which is standing out for me is the one with the bowl that extends up through the square section try to make the bottom bowl and the top lip the same size as though it is a bowl that continues up and through. Hope that makes sense
