Jesus David, we're going to be rich mate, let's get turning !!

 

With all the turner there are in the country you'd think there'd be a flood of turned bowl and no-one would be able to command those prices

Bloody hell i'm selling my stuff to cheap but i enjoy what i do. I have noticed if you sell to a shop they at least double the price. I'm going to try and have a go at making oval shaker boxes i just need to make the templates first.
