I can see you are concentrating on the details that can only be had by concentrating on tool handling. Looking forward to seeing how you evolve, friend.......ko

I love the rim!

Jamie, Odie, thank you very much!

Jamie, thanks again. Just wanted to say that the rim detail has a good bit of Odie in it, with the detail line and so on. So I have to give props to him for that. And to Al Hockenbery for emphasizing to me the importance of repeating work and working on spheres, beads and coves. I'm nowhere near his class for sure, but it's helped in a huge way.

@odie Yes, I've been listening to some podcasts on the subject of the "10,000 hour" principle. And although the author says he has been taken somewhat out of context, one of the major points is "deliberate practice". So every time I start to turn, I try to focus on a specific area that's just a bit harder than what I've done before, and it's all around tool handling more than the finished work.

As a result, I've got a lot of blown up bowls around the shop as reminders. :-D
