I call it The Mother Bowl...

...because there are corings yet to be processed. About 15" o.d. X 7.25 rim to 'foot'. Wall is a little heavier than I would like but the pucker factor on this one overwhelmed my courage level. Finish is Feed N Wax 4-5 heavy coats and lightly rubbed in after each. The hole in the side makes a nice handle, LOL.

I really like the smell of cherry turning. Of course not much gets through the breathing protection.

C&C welcome.

I don't turn much at all these days, but cherry is my absolute favorite! Your piece is wonderful - love it. Looking forward to the daughter (?) pieces.

Really, really nice Gene! I do understand that "can I go a little farther?" thing...and I think you stopped at the right time.
Thanks for sharing.
What system did you use to do the corings?
