I found a hunk of maple on the bottom of a wood pile last week and got some time yesterday morning to turn half of it. It's about 6" in diameter and 4" tall. Finish is just some past wax since I was out of my home brew danish oil. The interior's bottom is almost flat which I'm not sure I like now. Sorry once again for the bad cell phone pics...I really need to find my camera because I'm gonna have quite a few more bowls ready for pics int he next few weeks...pretty sure the daughter moved it to her room.
I also included a sneak pic of what my Sunday afternoon involved. I'm helping out to promote an arts/craft show that starts next month and then occurs a couple more times during the summer and fall. A photographer/videographer spent about 2hrs in the shop and captured me turning a small walnut bowl and some shots of my other work as well. She was super nice, made me feel like I knew what I was doing and didn't complain to much about her equipment getting kinda dusty. I gave her a little spinning top I turned last week as a thanks. I hope to have a copy of the video the first week of May.
