It has been some time since I posted a completed project as I have been very busy with my day job.
I had a birthday recently and I got an update to my Shopsmith in the form of a Universal Tool Rest and I could not wait to try it out.
I also recently purchased a Harbor Freight electric chain saw (Birthday money)
Several months ago I got some Eucalyptus logs and now I have the tools to do something with them.
I cut up one of the logs and prepared a blank using my new chainsaw and my bandsaw I would have processed more but I broke my resaw blade and going through several inches of this hard eucalyptus with a 1/4" blade is a no go.
Chucked the blank in the lathe and went at it.
Here is the completed project

The bowl is approximately 6 inches in diameter and 3 3/4 inches tall inside depth is just over 3 inches.
Finish is Wood Turner’s finish by General Finishes. (I really like this stuff)
Buffed with tripoli, white diamond and blue plastic polish finished off with a coat of finishing wax.
C and C are welcome as always.

Terry,
That's a very nice bowl out of a beautiful piece of wood. Bet it smelled nice in your shop.

Thanks all.
I do like the UTR. Nice not to have to constantly readjust like the old always shifting around. It stays put.
Need to do more turning once I get more blanks cut up which has to wait for a new BS blade. My 1/2" finally let go and all I have left is 1/4" and I'm not about to even try to resaw 6" eucalyptus with that.
