    First Bowls

    After looking at all of the beautiful work from all you turners, I thought I would try some bowls.

    The first 2 are figured maple about 8" diam.

    The other 2 are Red Heart and Chechen, about 6" diam.

    Thanks all for looking and inspiration!!

    Really nice looking bowls. M&M's would be good. I would sign and date them to keep to compare later down the road.

    Nicely done on all counts, but that chechen is my personal favorite. I'm with Bernie on the M&Ms... preferable the dark chocolate variety.

    Nice bowls, Dave - whether they are the first of thirty-first.

    And I too am with Bernie and Dave - M&M's, but peanut, not dark.

    Also, Dave, if you feel like taking a ride on a Tuesday or Thursday night early in the month, I'd love to have you as a guest at one of the two turning clubs I belong to. WNY Turners 1 meets on the first Thursday of the month, and Pembroke on the second Tuesday.

    Nice work, Dave!! And, my pick is the Chechen, as well - though, you have done a very good job on all of them.
