I turned my first bowl tonight. Definitely a learning experience. I had a screw break off but got it out. I made a tenon that held up. I managed to bump the bowl off the chuck not once but 4 times. Ultimately, I’m happy with the results. I believe this is American elm. I should say I don’t have a bowl gouge yet. I used a combination of tools to get here. Finished with a bees way wood conditioner then an oil based shellac friction polish. I added the burnish to the lip for contrast.
