Had an excellent day with Mark Hancock recently. As I suspected, I had much needed correcting. In fact, it would be fair to say that almost every aspect of what I was doing needed at least tweaking and in some cases completely changing. It's resulted in a bit of a few steps back while I get used to the techniques, which is a little frustrating, but also very rewarding as I see them coming together producing an altogether much better result. Best of all.....I came away NOT thinking I needed to spend a small fortune on tools & equipment!
This bowl wasn't done on the day.....it is the first I've properly completed with the changed techniques. It is of course elm(what else from me!) about 6" x 2.5"
