I was surprised at how difficult it is to turn a perfect egg shape. It sounds easy, but it was a humbling experience.
EDIT: I was making it thin and hollow, so I had tenons on each end. Visualizing the whole egg shape took some imagination. I think I got it though.

I'd almost be tempted but I already did the previous egg challenge (Was it last year, or the year before? Old age.. memory gets foggy...) but definitely enjoy watching new turners progress and evolve their skills... often to my own "jealousy" lol! ('cause they get to have mentors, club meetings, symposium visits, or just simply have far more latent talent than I ever hoped for...) So if you're a beginner, (or even count yourself as one) don't hesitate to give it a shot!
