I am pretty pleased with the outcome Bowl made from Chestnut and finished with Finishing Oil Size is 7" long 5" wide and the bowl is 4 3/4" Edited By Derek Lane on 28/03/2011 14:51:48

Moderator 3219 forum posts 1004 photos	Thanks all for the comments. The flat area is 1/8" thick and was turned very carefully with the lightest of cut and finished with sandpaper and the lathe stopped. No way was i going to sand that part with the lathe on. The bowl part was sanded with the lathe on. Al it is chestnut but I think the picture does not help as it came out darker than it actually is
