Footed Walnut Bowl

Hi James......your footed bowls are showing the great care you take in making them. Yes, sometimes there is a great "awakening" in the grain and character of some bowls that remain hidden, until revealed by a nice finish. This one is a good example of that!...... -----odie-----

I notice you beveled the inside rim. What is the overall thickness and did that make a consideration for the foot?

Beautiful bowl, Jim!

Thanks Odie! I always try do do the best I can, yet a beautiful piece of wood can really make you look good.

Gerald the majority of the wall thickness is 1/4" down to the foot, the bottom is slightly thicker. The foot was somewhat determined by they way I roughed out the bowl. Once finished down to the foot (and foot's outer curve) I finish the inside making sure to leave enough on the bottom. Then my goal is a continuous curve for the bottom. So I guess my consideration is to make sure to leave enough to work with.

Thanks Curt!

Love this one James

This amazing/perfect walnut turning is proof that when "nothing" is added to such great figure and superb workmanship, a masterful piece can be created! Just FANTASTIC, James!

Beautiful form and flawless execution. Well done!

The only way this would be better is if it was made out of Koa! LOL (Inside joke) Beautiful work. Well done.

Thank you so much for all the nice comments!
