I needed a bowl gouge

How does my profile look?

And I'm too cheap to buy a quality one yet since I'm just a beginner, and don't have a quality sharpening set to maintain a nice gouge. I had a piece of 1/2" A2 tool steel, I hand filed a flute into it, and polished it with round diamond files, and then sandpaper around the round files. Hand filed the profile to rough shape before hardening and tempering. I also made an Elsworth style sharpening jig. Ground it on my hand crank grinder. Something like M2 HSS would probably be better, but I wouldn't be able to anneal it and would have had to grind the flute with abrasives.

The handle is a scrap chunk of walnut. I would have liked it to be about 6" longer, but I drilled it on my lathe and that's all the capacity my little 70-150vsr has.
