Woodturned Bowl on a Lathe amid Fresh Shavings

Bowl turners often start with wet, freshly cut wood, because it cuts easily and peels off in long ribbons like these instead of dust. The catch is that green wood warps as it dries. So the bowl is roughed out with thick walls, left on a shelf for months to season, then put back on the lathe and turned true. This one is still on the chuck in a workshop ankle deep in shavings, smooth inside and ridged with tool marks outside. It's a woodturning jigsaw puzzle caught in the middle of the job.
