Wooden bowl

Back in college, I spun a wooden bowl. It's incredibly simple to do when you know how to use the lathe and at the time, I was chuffed I spun it without any assistance!

It has been about 4 years since I made the bowl and I'm still pleased with it. I know I will be able to spin much better pieces now but it is a piece I will never part with.

Plus it's holding loads of pine cones so it has an important use!

And talking about pine cones, I have noticed that some Christmas decorations being sold in shops this year are glittery pine cones on a pea stick. the are as little as £2 for 5 but why buy them when you can make them for a fraction a the price?! I know I'll be making them!
