How to turn your first bowl beginners woodturning a feather in a bowl

Beginners bowl turning. Turning a wood bowl is a beautiful and rewarding woodworking project. The process involves selecting a piece of wood with an interesting grain pattern and turning it on a lathe to create a functional or decorative bowl. To turn a wood bowl, woodworkers must use a lathe and various chisels and gouges to shape the wood into the desired form. Sanding and finishing the bowl with a food-safe finish completes the project, resulting in a stunning, one-of-a-kind piece. These easy steps will have you turning your first bowl in no time.

Is the sanding paste a paste form of sanding sealer?

[@bassrun101]

Garry NOT Linda. I'm curious as to why you didn't sand and finish the outside of the bowl before you turned it around in the chuck?

[@BlackLabelwoodworks]

You can I prefer to wait incase the outside is a little off when I flip it. It does not happen often but occasionally I need to take a few lite passes after flipping to bring the outside back to round.

What wax is that? I have no knowledge or experience, but as I near retirement, this is an interest of mine.

[@BlackLabelwoodworks]

Its a wax made from carnauba wax and walnut oil that i sell on my website. I also sell the sanding paste. Both are very easy to apply.

The feathering looks like growing wheat.

[@BlackLabelwoodworks]

Thanks i could see that to. Glad i looked at it after it sat in the rain or i probably would never have seen the feathering.
