bowl

5" diameter and 1 3/4" high. Sides 1/8". Any and all comments welcomed.

Scorched Ash bowl. I used pickling solution on the non scorched areas and a liming wax over the scorched exterior.

Big Leaf This ancient kauri bowl was a bit of an undertaking as it is 14inches across, turning a thing of this size and trying to keep the form allowing for the carving was a teaser. I had to ring Andrew and order an extra long tool rest as well as I had 12 inches of overhang on my bowl...

Turned in upstate NY on a visit to a fellow woodturner www.turnedoutright.com

Ash Lidded Bowl with Walnut Finial and Abalone Bead Decoration inside lid. 5 1/2" w x 3" h with 2" finial. This bowl was a real design change. The original piece had a couple of wormholes show up at the last minute and I had to cut the whole middle section out so made it lidded...

Earlier in the summer I was asked to create an award for the city of Carmel, Indiana for an award that they are presenting in a couple of weeks. The award will be given to a local business that is showing strides in being a "green" company. I'm not sure what their criteria were for the...

This was the last of my old apple trees which was uprooted in a storm last spring. This was some of the only sound wood left in the tree. Made from a small crotch section. The size is 11" x 13.5" x 5" tall. The finish is my oil mix and buffed with tripoli and carnauba wax.
