Scrolled bowls with lathe finish

[Montserrat]

As a German friend said, turning on the lathe wastes so much wood, that you could make so much more out of.  So I scrolled these two thingies yesterday and finished them on the lathe.  Now being a total turning novice, they are not quite as great as I would have liked.  But I am quite happy with the outcome.  The woods are hickory, cherry and mahogany.

Looks good to me.  Did Steve Goode's stacking puzzle a few years ago and thought I would clean up their roundness on the lathe.  Let's just say the results were a bit wonky.  Lesson learned, measure and mark centre BEFORE cutting circles and mounting on lathe

I am not quite sure if my tools were not sharp enough but I tried to cut a bead into the larger bowl and I could not make an impact.  Or is Mahogany simply too hard to even try?

Nicely done Monti, it was probably dull tools. Mahogany wood isn't very hard, so it takes a sharper tool to do a good cut with.
