Very small beech bowl (4" dia.)
This was rescued out of the trash bin after I had created multiple spiral gouges in the surface and nearly destroyed the tenon using a spindle gouge. This was finished with the 3/8" fingernail bowl gouge for the outside and inside. Used the jam chuck for the bottom.
It was sanded on the lathe running through all the grits. It is very smooth and highly polished with no finish – yet. Closed-grain.
