These are a few of my more recent endeavors in the Ringmaster realm. Got tired of the same ol' same ol', so got started doing chaos style, endgrain and tree slice bowls. And tried a few different open-segment and open-ring style bowls. Just waiting for somebody to take these as a starting point and run with it.

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
Those chaos segmented bowls are really cool. Might need to see more pictures of the pre-Ringmaster blanks to get my mind wrapped around those. Maybe a blog? How else am I going to imitate them.
The open segmented vases are pretty special too. They would make excellent lamp shades.

That last pic that most folks seem to like were for a bowl swap 'over there'. Someone mentioned that Ringmaster bowls were included and then someone else said toothpicks, for some reason. And that's all I remembered about the whole deal. So, I made these up as 'Texas toothpick holders'. The recipient loved them since I included a stash of Texas toothpicks.
I may have to look into that lampshade deal a bit more.
Nathan - Here's a pic of the mesquite chaos bowl blank. Started as 3/4" cubes glued together in a brick fashion and then cut into rings.
