Well the wife pick up a piece of the wood Jim sent me and said she wanted a candy dish for the coffee table. So I couldn't wait. I finished up a clock I was working on and chucked up this piece. It has one coat of oil to pop the grain. It will get a couple of coats of shellac then General Finishes WTF. It is 7" across and 2" tall. She is a happy camper and told me to tell Jim that the wood is beautiful. Thanks again Jim.
Beautiful wood............nice ogee form and I can see why Mrs. W. likes this one Bernie.
simple elegant.....really nice wood and work
Very nice grain and color and great shape Bernie.
BTW you chuck looks like a spray paint cap. :D ;).
That's a nice bowl, Bernie....and the ogee is spot on!
Very nice looking wood. What is it?
Beautiful bowl Bernie! Having it on display on the coffee table will be a good thing!!
Bernie, that is an excellent bowl!! Looks a bit like redwood - beautiful whatever it is.

Thanks everyone. I think when it is finished it will nice piece. Funny thing is she can't wait till it is completely finished.

Let's see. You had fun, you satisfied your artistic needs and you made your wife happy. Bernie, you had a good day. I was going to tell you I like the bowl but as long as your wife likes it no one else matters anyway.
faust
Very nice bowl Bernie
Thanks again. Faust keeping the wife happy is first and foremost. As long as she is happy she never says much when I buy a tool.:D
Nice bowl, Bernie..... Thanks for sharing............ Jerry (in Tucson)
Thanks Jerry.
Nice bowl Bernie. How is the redwood for turning? Not too much redwood here in MN :cool:
I'm bettin' there ain't much in Kansas either, Greg, unless Burr sends him more!:D I have turned a couple of pieces, and if Bernie's was like mine, it was a dream to turn.
