First finished bowl

I completed my first successful bowl. It was the natural edge cherry bowl, but I broke the top off so it became a slightly shorter non-natural edge cherry bowl. I turned the bowl mostly wet (I could hear it creaking after it was thin), sanded up to 12000 grit, applied polish, applied wax, and then parted off and finished the bottom.

I must say, I'm rather impressed and feeling confident after screwing up so many. (I broke 3 half turned bowls tonight.) This first finished piece is a gift for my wife that convinced me to try turning in the first place. Thanks!

And now I'm going to bed.
