Greetings all,

Noobie here, I did some turning back in shop class and bought a lathe about 25 years ago when I was on a Windsor chair kick. Turned 3 legs and life got in the way. Lathe has sat idle most of the time since, only turning the occasional spindle. Been interested in turning some bowls for a long time, neighbor has gotten into turning so I had him walk me through my first bowl.

It seems I'm hooked. So I joined the AAW and the local chapter. Going to try turning some small bowls for while (I don't have a large lathe) and see where this slippery slope leads me. Below is my first bowl, about a 12 inch one made of walnut.

That slope you reference is not only slippery, it is extremely steep!

Very true!

Nice bowl and yes this is only the tip of the iceberg . As you get drawn in there will be many new tools in your future. By the way welcome to the addiction.

Welcome to the AAW forum, Cory. That is a very nice walnut bowl.
