///@e3journeyman: Bark up bowl
My first go at a Bark up bowl under the expert guidance of @luckyspoons at @londongreenwood. 

Great fun playing with a variety of tools, axe, adze, gouge and drawknife.  I might even tidy it up with a sloyd at some point.
 
Pretty pleased with a first attempt plenty to work on including not getting blisters and listening to the tutor.
