Really nice piece. Quit saying that you are not an artist, you artist you!
Have a lot of fun! When is the show?

But I prefer the single ball for bowls, changing the ball between compounds.
On open grain, seal with either Mylands Cellulose Sealer, a good sanding sealer, or several coats of Poly. Use diluted...

Is by far the best alternative

Very fabulous work.

Greetings fellow Creekers. I haven't been on in quite a while. Life has taken many twists and turns. But I have been in the shop some. I have recently completed a couple of commissioned bowls for a...

Tom:
Nice Haul! I think that you will really enjoy the walnut. That has been my mainstay from the freindly orchards here in CA for me.

My first try at spalted wood. pretty tricky with all the pithy spots.

Yeah the cutting board was a tricky turn....:D
Nah, just a different project for the week.
Working on some cabinets too.

A couple of photos of some new pieces. I have been able to spend some time in the shop the last few weeks.

Beautiful set!

Finished the Walnut Burl Bowl that I showed as a "work in progress" last week. Fixed the crack. A couple of dozen coats of thinned Poly.
This piece is a gift to the walnut grower who gave me the...

Wow, this is really beautiful. I like the pedestal. Great work.

SWEET!!!
Maybe you should pour the green tea into your beer?
Very nice haul. This will keep you too busy though. I think you should send some out to California..ME..

Gee, I am sorry. There is no helping you now. Nice work so far.;)

Congratulations! That is terrific!
Good luck

Looks like a lot of fun! Want to trade any of it for some Walnut Burl?:D

WOW!!! That is really Beautiful! thanks for sharing it.

Never know until you get it on the lathe. Share the pics so that we can all learn something. Based on what a few of the other fellow have shown in their work, it certainly looks to be attractive!

I would go in a heartbeat. I love turning walnut. There is always hidden beauty under the bark, especially if you are able to get a burl or two.:D

I am in, thanks.

This is a work in progress. Sanded but not finished. During turning I uncovered a crack that I need to deal with before I finish it.

I have built several similar. On one used two pieces of 3/4" Plywood glued and screwed. Made an inexpensive very solid top. It was to be in a perminant spot, so I used shims glued and nailed under...

Gee, I am sorry. 70 degrees here today and gorgeous.

Curt:
Really great piece. I haven't seen anything like that before. The wood is beautiful and really adds to it.

Tom:
Fantastic!:eek: What a great bowl and congratulations on not only your very high price, but also, the great charity that the proceeds went to.
