re: MY FIRST BOWL

Nice job Cliff. I've been using my lathe quite a bit lately and I found that using the traditional turning tools prevents a lot of sanding, but seem much safer and easier on the outside of a bowl. The inside seems easier with carbide to me because there seems to be less chance of a catch. I have a hard time with certain angles on the inside with chisels. 

My biggest problem is I have a hard time finding chunks of wood large enough to turn a bowl.
