I like that a lot, especially the undercut rim.

Do you start with a definite profile in mind (drawn out?) or just keep shaping until it looks right?

Just thoughts in the head Andy and a profile in mind, the undercut rim in this instance was a deliberate aim based on comments received elsewhere.

If initial 'vision' looks unbalanced I try to blend it otherwise, failure to have done this at times because material removal was not done in suitable sequence niggles in retrospect.

I Never sketch anything that is turned as a 'one off', I find that way places restrictions on the spontaneity of picking material off the store rack and getting creative.

Batch items are usually subject to simple sketch to make a story board for dimension points.

Another nice piece Chas but I wish you would slow down as you are making some of us jealous who are unable to get to the lathe or should that be lathes in my case ;)

I'm sure you can find 60mins. or so to knock up a bowl, or are you fixated on not getting your new toys dusty? :P :P

I like that, Chas. Simple, classy, undecorated, and a "normal" piece of wood.

I like the shape you have on this one Chas, esp with an undercut around the rim.

Nicely finished (as ever!)

Thanks for the comments Mike & Simon

As for finishing Simon I guess that's because it was something that was drummed into me from my first days of engineering training, if you did not want to see your efforts allotted to the scrap bin.

Surface blemishes or indications of machining methods were not allowed.

It has become an obsession since I've been turning, I suspect it is for some others as well judging by the number of times you see turners pick up a piece of finished work and turn it over to look at the base.

I like that undercut rim as well; may pinch that idea for a future project when I take some more stuff down to the hospice shop.

How do you sand under the rim though? - Rob

I'm intrigued as to why you see this as a problem.
