    Walnut crotch bowl

    This is a walnut crotch bowl fro a piece of walnut from my local country club. It ended up 10.25" x 3.25", home brew oil, beall buffed with ren wax. The blank had a crack that was a first for me, the crack followed the growth rings and did not go straight through the blank, but seemed to run at a tangent. It finished up faily thin because I tried to get rid of the crack, and had to stop before I started turning air. Thanks for looking, C&C welcomed.

    That is a really nice bowl Steven. I really like the simple lines and finish.

    Real pretty bowl Steve! The more I look at it - the thinner it's getting! Must be light as a feather!

    Very nice, like the simple look of the bottom.

    Steve, I looked for the crack but didn't see it - I think you did a fine job on this one. Nice shape, and a really nice finish.

    Nice bowl Steve. It's hard to beat the look of walnut. I agree with the others about it looking very light. Might want to hurry up and put something in it so the wind won't blow it away.
    Who knew your could have so much fun with such a small chunk of wood
