making a bowl

I hope don't bore you with this one but I wanted to show all the steps in making a bowl from a rough piece of wood. This is a piece of cedar.
















The first step is to cut out a round piece from the rough wood and mount it to the lathe.

Now we create the bottom of the bowl.











Then we make the top of the bowl.



A little sanding, burn in your name and date.





























A coat or two of shellac










A couple coats of wax and some serious buffing and you have a completed bowl.
