2" Maple Bowl finished with Minwax Fast Drying Polyurethane. Turned thin so it's entirely translucent.

6" spalted maple bowl finished with Minwax Fast-Drying Polyurethane.

So far, this is one of my favorite pieces from the camphor. This 10"w x 5"h Southwestern style bowl is finished outside with shellac and Chapman's beeswax, and inside with just Chapman's wax to keep the camphor odor. This is the first time i've used Chapman's and like it so far.

This is an ash bowl 10 1/4 inches by 2 3/4 inches by 3/8 inches. There is no foot and a concave bottom.

An ash bowl approximately 10 1/2 inches in diameter.

Box elder salad bowl - 12 1/2" dia. x 5 1/4" deep. Finished with walnut oil. This was a quickie shot in the bed of my truck, not the greatest locale for a photo.

Figured Big Leaf Maple, Texas Ebony foot, Chinese symbol and polished brass ring inlayed into the inside bottom of bowl. "Yeren" is Chinese for Bigfoot! It's very stable though. 7" x 3". Custom Finish

Birch. Only has one coat of varnish yet. I have a little touchup sanding to do.

This is a beautiful piece of Ambrosia Maple. I have tried uploading a larger photo than in the past to see if it will give more detail. Shape was aimed at those who like to toss their Caesar's Salad

This is a large bowl, 17 inches across and deep enough to allow Caesar Salad fanatics to toss to their heart's delight. The rim also helps you hold the bowl if the hands get slightly oily.

I have never seen such an unusual grain pattern in hard Maple. It looks almost like raindrops on a window.

This piece of Black Walnut had some bad scar tissue (for want of a better description) so I tried ebonizing it with vinegar and steel wool. The scar marks disappeared and the mix gave the Black Walnut an incredible intensity without hiding the grain.

The branding is done with an 18-gauge nichrome wire coiled about 4-5 times, using Graeme Priddles' branding method. Special thanks to Molly Winton & John Lucas for his instructions on developing the coil pen.

This is a wide shallow bowl of Black Ash. The bowl is turned thin with a wide, slopeing in rim.
