I got a lathe a while back, and a new chuck for it last week. I also had an 8/4×8 x 8 chunk of ash that had a knot on one end so I didn't want to use it for anything else. In between cutting and gluing up bookcases, I played with the lathe a bit and came up with this bowl.It's rough, and there are a couple catches as I was teaching myself to use a skew, but I'm pretty proud of it for a first effort.Finished with a couple coats of shellac, and that's it.
