Poplar Bowl

I've been turning a few things lately including some French rolling pins that are for sale at Capital Kitchen in Montpelier, VT. But what excites me the most about turning is the ability to take a log of wood, freshly cut down, and turn it into a bowl. Bellboy (bellboynyc.com) had some poplar logs laying around awhile back and I finally found some time to turn one.
I'm happy with the results. I still need some practice at finishing the base of the bowl but I am getting better. And you can't see it in the picture anyhow some in this case I'm off the hook.
Poplar is underrated. Fact.
