Here are the results of trying to make a Fruit Bowl. I used poplar wood that I had on hand. The poplar board was 5 quarter and was ripped into 4 inch widths. So the glueup of the smaller boards looked like a stack of 2X4s made into a 12"X 12" blank.

This was also my first try of using a bowl gouge.

Sorry - the bowl on its pedestal looks a lot better when turned right side up. I thought I had this fixed but obviously not.

Looks great. Can't wait so see it finished. Seems like it would make a nice light fixture as well

Man that is going to look good when finished! Good job

I'll bet that's the way upsides down pineapple cake was invented.

That's your second bowl or second attempt at that specific bowl?
I was too embarrassed to let my fireplace see my first attempt!
I've really got to get with a local turner and get an hour lesson. Local group isn't that local.
Beautiful form.

I think I see a power pro peeking out. Did the lower range help a lot? And do you have the universal tool rest? Just curious, neither are in range of my budget.

This is really impressive! What are the overall dimensions and width depth of the bowl itself.

Did you actually undercut the rim as drawn?

Good job BTW!

No UTR evident.
