Joani' First Bowl

Hi, this is Joani, age 8. This is her first turning. With very little help she made this nice little bowl. Bowl is 4"x2",Catalpa finished with Hut friction wax. Joani would love to hear what you think about her bowl.

Congratulations Joani! That's a very pretty bowl. You've done a very nice job with the finish too. Keep up the great work and I'd love to see more of your work.

Looks a lot like one of my first bowls, Joani. You've gotten a great start with this one. Don't let your dad take up all the lathe time, you deserve some too Wink

Good job Joani. The bowl is real nice. Don't let that be the end of your turning. I've seen lots of first bowls that didn't look nearly so nice. You're going to do well. 8)

Great job Joani, your dad is a great turner and from the looks of it a darn good teacher too. Nice first bowl, and shiny finish too. Maybe you should ask for a mini-lathe for Christmas so you don't have to worry about getting onto Dad's lathe. Wink
