first bowl

[headshot]

i've had a go at my first bowl with my new hatchet(dont laugh lol),we got sheds full of seasoned and fresh timber so i used some fresh"green"elm.
i havent finished it yet but its not to far off,i'm leaving it chunky as i know it will split,whether it splits in half is yet to be seen.
i am going to have a go with some seasoned wood next time..any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated,thanks for looking...kev
