Cuz's Bowl

My cousin Dave visited me a short time ago and we decided he would give the lathe a try. With a little help, this is what he came up with. He's a machinist and took to the tools rather well. It's walnut with some color and texturing. 10" dia. X 2" tall. Finished with Tung oil and Beall buffed. I'm sending him this thread, so tell him what you think. Thanks my friends, Don L.

Thanks so much folks. I did help a little, but Dave did a lot of the work himself. He'll love reading this, so thanks!!
