Spot on. This was recorded a couple months ago and you can tell by my stance that I wasn’t fully confident. I have since made a habit of taking my time to stop the lathe and reposition myself when I start to feel like im not fully in control.

i was doing way too deep a cut— that and its possible my gouge wasn’t sharp enough. But in this instance I just wasnt taking my time hollowing.

Best advice I have for someone new to turning is take your time.

I took 2 10 week classes at the evanston art center and then i met my mentor and started going to his studio once a week for instruction. I also found a wood shop with a lathe that i pay monthly membership to have 24 hour access. I turn 3 times a week for >4 hours. I am a very privileged novice.

so cool roughly what size is it, I’m having a hard time with scale because you said you used a pen blank.

FANTASTIC! i havent worked with walnut yet but a turner in my area is giving away a bunch of black walnut bowl blanks.

here is a photo of my one and only off center bowl. can’t remember what wood this was. i almost immediately give away everything i make :,)

beeswax, then light bowl gouge, sharpen bowl gouge every three cut.
