    Tar mate, Holly, good eye. Found the Elder super easy to turn and generally nice to work with. It warps like crazy once its dried out though. Can't see it in the photos but the biggest bowl has quite a few holes and cracks in it. Smaller ones turned out okay.

    Spalted beech from a dead tree. Blunted my tools every 5 minutes. Get a clean finish though. Nested it too.

    Different tools. Long steel rods with a razor sharp hook on the end with long wooden handles for leverage. Tools are called “bowl turning hooks” as they’re designed specifically for turning bowls. I’ll post some pictures at some point.

    Also managed to turn my first couple of nests of apple, turned from the same piece of timber. The little bowl sat in the centre of the large one. Bit of a ball ache to do.

    Turned from some skanky apple logs that would usually be a big nono for turning on a foot powered lathe. With the timber being infested with knots and rotten in the centre, runs a high risk of breaking on the lathe. Many did, these ones survived.
