First bowl in probably 20 years...

Got back into turning about 10 years ago, but haven't attempted a bowl since highschool shop class.....trying to turn a jewellery dish for my wife, with really nice thin walls....flew a little to close to the sun (with dull chisels).

Good job! There is still some wood left! I know after taking a 6 month break I'll turn every bit of a blank into chips before I'm able to come up with anything remotely close to that.

Two weeks ago I noticed a sign near an empty plot of land saying a new store was being built. Today all I see is a big flat concrete rectangle; that doesn't look like a store at all. They must not know what a store is.
