Thanks Guys for all your comments.

Nice advice on the detail Steve. I will certainly take that into acount on my next one.

I think I will also make a small photo tent to improve the pics...

Nice looking stuff Baxter. I do like the look of apple but it certainly does not seem to be very turner friendly. As stated in my most recent post boiling it really helps. I also recently tried...

Hi Roger,
Yes I do recall that posting and sounds like a great idea. Thanks for the suggestion.
Mike

Its been a couple of weeks since my last post but there certainly has been no shortage of turning going on here. I am still working the DNA drying system and having very good results at least with...

Hey John,

Nice work on this one. The wood is fantastic and I like the rim too. I also love the bottom. How are you putting your name and number on the medalion insert? That is a really nice...

Well John I cant help you with your problem but I can diagnose it for you.

You are clearly suffering from an acute case of "MAXIMUM-WOODICUS-OVERSTOCKICUS"!!!

I checked web MD there is no...

Nice work Dan. Personally I like the popover the best (Ha Ha nice one Joe) but they all are really cool. Good Stufff!

That is some amazing wood baxter. Great job on the bowls. Love them both. Thanks for posting your methods too! Thats a big help. I have been experimenting with some different drying methods as...

Thanks John. Yes maybe a little to shiny on the bark. I just had a gloss around so I went with that. I only used 1 coat and the bark sucked it in so much that it looked like there was not anything...

This is my first natural edge bowl. Turned from a piece of maple. It is 7" around and 5" high and finished with a couple of coats of butcher block oil. This one was also standing in woods just a...

WOW! You pulled that out a burned stump? Nice work. Great lookin bowl.

The wood had much more spalting on the other end. I am not sure if this was the end of the spalting or just the way the grain is but it does look like pickled oak.
This was my first try with beads....

Thanks Dennis, Great idea and will do.

This one came off the assembly line today. Turned from a piece of maple that was standing around in the woods, just minding its own business a few week ago. She is my biggest bowl yet. This...

Its been a couple of weeks since my last post. I have been busy gathering wood (wood gloat pics coming), making bowl roughs and drying them using David Smiths DNA drying system. At this point i...

Now your are just killing me John. You know I am suffering from withdrawels up here and you go and post this. If there was a a drooling smiley face it would be right here. Nice looking stuff. ...

After a couple of weeks of without a finished product, I was busy yesterday. The bowl below was actually lying on the ground last week covered with snow and 7 days later here it is. The tree had been...

Just letting you guys know that I haven't given up or anything. I havent posted any pics lately becuase i do not have any wood, or wood that I can finish. I have been in the process of gathering...

You are cranking out some beauties Bill. Really wild grain. Good stuff!!

Fantastic work there Bill. I love the shape and the grain in the wood. Really well done.

Hey guys,

I thought you guys might find this interesting. Anyone have any experience with this?

An absolutely stunning piece Steve, and certainly worthy of being put in a show. Good Luck!

Really nice work Bill. I will be doing some segmenting in the future due to a bunch of free wood that I recieved so when i get there I will hit you up for some advice on the joints. Cool birdhouses...

Hey John,

Wow, Fantastic work on this one. Amazing that this your first hollow form. Very creative on the natural edge. To my eye the finial looks fine but I am only working on my 7th or 8th...

Realy nice work on all three bowls, Sean. If I had to pick a fav I would go with the apple bowl but all are fine pieces of work. Good stuff!
