Yesterday I decided to try another bowl out of a She Oak blank that I was recently given along with some others. There were quite a few faults in the wood that I knew about. As I started to turn, I realised that previously I had been treating the wood like I treat my wife, very gently, once I put pressure against the 1 1/4" gouge chips came flying off so much faster leaving a smoother surface. The photo-shoot tells the story. If you're not asleep by the end of these shots, have a peep at the next post. Attached Thumbnails

After a good nights sleep, even though my wife didn't think it was too bad, I decided to have a further attempt at improving it. Attached Thumbnails

Hi Harry A very worthy creation. I like seeing grain and knots in a wood and the #7 picture shows a beautiful grain. A well done job. I always tell the Misses when she does not see the same beauty I see in a creation,,,, "It will grow on you,,, I did"  Have a great day, off to work.

Thanks John. "I always tell the Misses when she does not see the same beauty I see in a creation,,,, "It will grow on you,,, I did" Is this what happened when you proposed?
