    Talking London Woodturning competition smiled upon me

    Not first price, but a second in the faceplate turning and 3th in spindle turning, I was pretty happy with, so I'll like to share the happy feeling

    12 ½" X 4" Norway Maple bowl and a set of Birdhouses for the spindle turning entry.

    Have fun and take care

    Congrats Leo!
    It’s only work if somebody makes you do it.
    A day can really slip by when you're deliberately avoiding what you're supposed to do.
    Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side and it binds the universe together.

    Congratulations Leo! Neat use of grain and handles on the bowls. Can't help thinking, "How did you do that?"

    Good for you Leo! And as Baxter said, very striking color/grain on the bowl handles.

    Congrats Leo!!!

    Exceptionally clean lines on your bowl! Great form!

    Birdhouses must have caught a lot of attention at the show as well!

    Glad to see you get some recognition for your work! Well deserved! Thanks for sharing!
