So I realize this isnt quite up to what many of you are doing here, but as a newbie, I'm tickled with how this is turning out. Started out a shade under 14 inches in diameter and now down to around 12.5 or so after rounding out. Got the wood from a buddy who is a forum member here. I'm shocked at just how nice the inside was and hoping the rest are just as pretty.
Been documenting along the way so I can go back and learn, but no need to put all the pics here, just where I started with rough shaping with the chainsaw and then where I'm at now with it. Throwing some sanding sealer on it and will continue to sand tomorrow and turn it around and hopefully not screw it up hollowing it out.
I'd always said I had no interest in doing larger bowls and was happy with the 6 inch max I'd set for myself... but now I understand the allure.
Also just a couple random penguins I made for Mothers Day. Mom seemed to like them ok.
