I took David’s turning classes and I caught the bowl class just as I was taking vacation. I think I spent at least every day in the shop, sometimes I would visit twice a day late at night. Vacation is ending this week and I wanted to post progress shots.
There are a lot of different types in here.

Bonus: I tried using resin and construction paper. It failed and looked like I tried to murder a clown.

Whoa I’ve been turning for years and don’t think I’ve made that many pieces altogether!
They look fantastic, tragic clown accidents or not.

Thanks Shane. That’s my second resin bowl. What a mess they make.
Here is a before picture of that resin bowl and another new one, a walnut bowl

That looks great! Did you use the pressure pot for the resin?

Hey, thank you.
I have one at home that I used.
The first resin bowl I did, I did not use the pressure pot and I got lots of air bubbles. Not in the resin directly, it seemed to be around the wood in the resin
I want to get to the larger hollow forms that you see on YouTube on channels like Sprague woodworking.
