One seldom mentioned woodturning risk that newcomers may not realize and
old timers may neglect is a sharp edge on the turning itself. Be
careful when testing work with your fingers while it's spinning. These
edges can cut like a knife.

I have cut my fingers on the sharp corner where the outside of the
bowl meets the top edge, while sanding. Now I knock off the sharpness
as the first step of sanding. It was really shallow like a paper cut,
but stung out of proportion to the damage.
Really good argument for power sanding bowls... and using a soft pad...
I've lost enough little pieces of skin while hand sanding stuff with edges...
