[Egan, Richard]

Good save, Bob!
Glad to provide the inspiration! I’ve burned a lot of my collection!

After reading the newsletter and Rich’s encouraging commentary, I thought I’d better fess up.

Years ago, in my turning infancy, member Art Ustby showed me his “Shelf of Shame” collection. Art is an expert. These are turnings that don’t “turn” out. I had a shelf of shame but ran out of room.

In the early years, my biggest problem was going through the bottom of bowls. Until I wised up. Or thought I did.

After turning for 19 years, this walnut bowl sat alone with other failures for about a year. Lately, I thought I’d try to fix it.

John Fisher kindly gave me a piece of spalted maple, so I turned a plug (inside view) and a resulting pedestal. Today, I applied the final coat of finish. Just needs to be buffed and then it’s done.

Like Rich said. Don’t give up!!
