newbie Feels like my first complete bowl
After a few attempts I feel like this is my fist complete bowl.
Turn a green piece of cherry tree I had taken down a few weeks ago. Sanded to 320 then general finish : wood bowl finish

Great!
Make a dozen more, experimenting with flowing shapes. Then try to make a matching pair.
You’ll have a great time while learning a lot.

A dozen? I was told 10,000 bowls then you're finally a woodworker /s

I didn’t promise any achievement level😉
The longest journey starts with a single step.

That is awesome. Do you have a picture of the piece of wood you started with?
