Nice bowls, both of them. That alder is pretty wood too. Looks like it has a little spalting in it.

Thanks, I am just learning, as you are. Just turning and allowing the tools to show how they like to cut is sometimes very helpful. You have to make many shavings to learn, especially if there are no instructors.
I have never used Adler, but it looks a bit like Oak.

These are well-turned bowls, Bob. You seem to have had a good experience w/a finish with which I have a terrible time.
