That's a fine looking bowl!

Thanks Billy, I wanted to share it in the gallery but I've been working out of town the last couple weeks and that thing ain't fitting in my luggage!🤣🤣🤣

I appreciate that you show the struggles you go through. I feel like a lot of channels edit them out but you are very authentic and down to earth. Much respect! Awesome grain and spalting in that wood!

I really appreciate that, I want it to be clear that I'm new and learning. Which makes most of us peers and going through the same or similar struggles together. I don't want to purposely mess up but at the same time I don't want an ultra edited and super refined experience. That's why Raffan is one of my absolute favorite turners to watch, he leaves his catches in his videos. It's reassuring that a master like himself still gets a bit careless and has one.

I like that a lot and can see an Owl face on the inside and pigs face on the bottom. Well worth the effort. It would have been good to see how you hold the resin while it's drying. Every time I use resin it manages to get out of a tiny gap somewhere.

Thanks Buddy I really appreciate it. Guess I got lucky with the epoxy, I just used masking tape on the bowl. The trick was to ballance it so it would not run out. I learned this the hard way trying to fill both holes at once, I got a bit of goop in the bowl but removed it all with my bowl scraper. I just roughed out a cherry bowl that will need an epoxy job, this time I'm letting the bowl dry first though.
