My daughter Jojo is very talented with many hand skills from cake baking to knife forging. Whilst she has carved bowls and spoons before she has never turned a bowl on the pole lathe.

Fantastic first effort! Marie x
Great!
Great work! (And she reminds me of Julia Roberts!)
Jojo has done a great job on this. And Gorges' right!
Really nice bowl. I have never made one, I have only just started spoon carving.
Brilliant post. Well done JoJo. I'm sure by now you've overtaken Dad! Well done.
