here is a collection of some bowls ive turned the last couple years. i didn't want to do a dedicated project for each one. the first is the very first bowl i ever turned made from mrytlewood. the second and third are also made from mrytlewood. bowl number four is an unknown wood that require a little help frrom ca glue as it was bug eatin. bowl five is from claro walnut i bought from cook woods in oregon. it was turned green and wet. after the rough turning i let it dry then completed it. bowl 6 is turned from mahogany with a band of turquoise in the rim. this cup was turned from a mimosa tree i cut down several years ago. very hard dense wood. just a simple weed vase turned from a log from the firewood pile.
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
Very nice group of turnings, each has it's own characteristics that sets it apart. I like the rings on bowls 4 and 6, but the color and grain on #5 the mahogany bowl, is really beautiful.
