Brick...That's bout what it was like. Sucker gave my tools a work out. Even had to resort to a glove from the hot shavings. I think it was worth it though.

Pics of the tent to follow.

That's some rough stuff Gary - you should be proud you did good - nice bowl and finish. That's American Elm and quite rare.

Gary, that is KEWL. Love that grain. Tell us more about this photo tent.

Nice looking bowl Gary. It can be tough to keep the pith in the turning. Looks like it held together well.

The pith holds up well in these Elm blanks

Re: Photo Tent Info

Ok since I am felling a little to [STRIKE]lazy[/STRIKE] tired to get out the camera and what not I am going to give a verbal instruction on the $0.50 photo tent.

Cardboard covered in aluminum foil. form a taped cube with 3 = sides bright side of the foil facing in. The rear is left open and the bacground of your choice (mine was a towel) is laid on a flat surface with enough material left to come up to the top of your "box" the front side is cut away about 1/3,and covered in foil. Leave the opening at the top edge. Aim your light source inside, but not directle at the subject and shoot through the opening. This is a super cheap super quick tent setup.

Here is a link I found after doing mine:BangHead: that is also super cheap and easy, even woodworker friendly.
