I always love when people don't hide their mistakes but instead show how they deal with/overcome them. Your solution was so well done and this piece turned out so beautiful. Thanks, Mike!

It’s good to know I’m not the only one that has an occasional “oomphs”. Nice fix.

Happens to us all Marie 😃

[@katelinnett9020]

Mistakes are valuable lessons that promote humility and keep us from getting too cocky! My grand-dad turned his first (and only) funnel into a trophy cup on a pedestal, and titled it "Monument to Incompetence". It had a place of honor on his desk, and he kept walnuts in it! 😆

[@MikeHolton]

Haha thanks Kate, I love that story 😃

[@taysider01]

The funnel group is growing everyday, I joined around 3 years ago. There is something about a natural edge bowl that just looks beautiful from any angle, yours is no exception. Great work Mike

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks David, love the way this one turned out 😃

[@barryrankin587]

We all make mistakes, and what defines us is wether you give up or find a solution. What a perfect solution. Love the live edge, and the bulls eye.

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks! Giving up is the quickest way to stop learning so I prefer to carry on wherever possible😃

[@philgallagher1]

Congratulations, Mike! It took you long enough, but you have finally joined the "Funnel Club"!! Despite that, the bowl you have produced is fantastic!!

Thanks Phil 😀

Good morning Mike and welcome to the funnel club. One of the great joys of this community is the willingness of people to share everything, mistakes included. I took the opportunity of chatting with Dan of Yandles on Sunday at makers central as well as meeting Nick Zametti and Jim Overton for the first time. Have a good week and an even better weekend. I’ll look for your podcast. As always, thank you for taking the time to share 🌞

You're welcome Ray, sounds like a good event, I have had an email exchange with Jim but never met Nick. I'll try and get down next year if I can find the time 😃

[@vincenthardman7691]

Nature never fails to amaze me with the variety of patterns it creates all on it's own. Another great looking piece and I think the "plug" adds extra character. Thank you for sharing Mike.

[@MikeHolton]

Thank you very much Vincent 😃

[@BarbaraShelton-xz9vn]

That plug only adds to the uniqueness of the bowl, it doesn't take away a thing. Problem solving on the fly is a gift.

[@TheLoxxxton]

The fact you spent time at the end talking but doing nothing but feeling, rotating and enjoying the feel of the wood and the bowl said more than words.

[@colinwatmore7041]

Welcome to the club, I joined quite early in my turning endeavours. It was called the golfing bowl (a hole in one). Still got it, hole and all. I told my wife that it was in case any fruit went off so the juice could run out. She never used it except for keeping the dogs collar in. I have often thought of plugging it but it is a nice conversation piece and causes a laugh. Love the elm bowl by the way.

[@MikeHolton]

Haha thanks Colin, can you turn it into a lampshade?

[@lisagriger5261]

As you were hollowing it out I was thinking to myself " I hope he knows how far to go." So close! Beautiful!

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks Dave, if I can share the good and the bad then we can all learn together 😃

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Great bowl. You made the repair perfectly, IMHO. It is impossible to “match” the grain, so it always stands out as a repair. A contrasting wood or something in a different grain orientation is the way to go. The brighter sap wood, darker heart wood, and change of grain direction makes this a feature rather than a glaring repair. Super work!

[@MikeHolton]

Thank you very much Doug 😃

[@davidjowett8195]

Great recovery from a mistake. And yes, the repair fits well into the finished item. Thanks, again, for sharing.

[@davidbaxter5132]

Welcome into the Funnel Club, Mike; I would say that you have done well to have made so many pieces without that particular 'mishap' - but it seems somewhat rude to write that! I will admit to being a two-time member; one I remedied with a plug, the other went to the scrap bin - I couldn't hide my disappointment in myself! This is a lovely bowl, super natural edge and goes to show that a few worm holes and cracks can be handled along the way. Great job, Mike.

[@MikeHolton]

Thanks David, I have come very close before but being a coward I don't like to make think bowls 😃

Mike, greetings from Warwick in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Nearly all of the towns in this area take their names from cities in England. I’m not a turner nor a woodworker of any sort, but I thoroughly enjoy watching how you allow the wood to dictate the final shape. Whether it’s cracks, knots, or a Forstner a bit deeper than planned, your finally product is always gorgeous. I would more than welcome an opportunity to win that bowl in a future drawing.
