Square Mahogany Bowl

This was my first attempt at turning a square. While it came out fine, turning all that air, especially from the backside, was a study in horror! lol I did manage to leave a little of my DNA on this one. pic is posted at alt.binaries.pictures.woodturning

Thanks Tom. It was an adventure making it. Left a small scar on one knuckle.

The sanding was begun on the lathe and finished by hand. On the lathe, I used a small kitchen sponge wrapped in my sandpaper to soften the bumpy ride at 600 rpm. Because my lathe isn't reversible (don't I wish), the hand sanding finished the back side of the rotation off the lathe. Turning the front side of the thing wasn't all that terrible, but the four corners are curved down and, working from the backside, things seemed much more "invisible", thus the scarred knuckle. ;)
