I like wood work too. The others have answered your question about 
textures. I like to talk about the bowl. I would use POV's lathe to make 
my bowls. I know it can be hard to learn how to write the lathe code by 
hand. There are several programs out there that can help.
  My own is at http://leroywhetstone.s5.com/Pages/Win_Programs.html
POV's lathe can produce almost anything that can be made on a real 
lathe. I've seen on PBS where a guy made cowboy hats.
POV's sor can produce dales, pickets, anything that doesn't have an 
interior cut.
Have fun!
