I finished my first bowl the other day. Made from a 6x6x2 block of rosewood. I still have a lot of learnin' to do and some tool techniques I need to get better at.
I did most of the hollowing and shaping at ~1600-2200rpm and I noticed a lot of vibration as I got closer to the finished product inside. By vibration I do not mean that my tool was jumping on the rest, I mean it sounded and felt like I was using a hammer drill to hollow it out. That could have been caused by the speed of the spindle or the angle of the tool...
However, here is the finished project (flaws and all)
As always comments and critiques are welcome and appreciated
