Another bowl finished , and this is probably the best I can possibly do on my small lathe. Sapeli&Maple, diam. 9.5"(24,5cm) height 4" (10cm). My hands hurts from hours of sanding,but it was worth it:)

Nice bowl... but why did it take hours to sand it... Can't figure out why your hands should be hurting?

I only got basic toolrest, so on the inside, especially the bottom, the gouge was far over it,and it was difficult to keep it steady. Also,I wanted it to be shiny,so I went all the way to down to 800 grit.

Bottom feeder Bowl gouge will help with that. Also.. are you sand by hand?
