    I love that warning &quot;don&apos;t do this&quot; because &quot;I still have the scars to prove it&quot;!😂

    Hi. I&apos;ve learnt many things watching you. I consider myself a &apos;good beginner&apos; but one of the key things I&apos;ve learnt, is to slow down, stop if need be and assess the piece more often as I turn. Keep teaching and I&apos;ll keep learning 👍🏻

    the inclusions give it so much character - great work keeping it (mostly) in one piece!

    What a beautiful bowl. I like the way you steadily explain the process of figuring out how to start on a big burl like that. You really had me excited, but I&apos;m really glad the natural edge won.
