My wife decided to surprise me for my birthday with new bowl gouge, the Ellsworth signature from Crown. Spent most of yesterday getting materials and setting up a jig to sharpen it but today I gave it a good test and am quite happy with her choice. This ash crotch bowl is one of the things I got finished today. Had a couple of good sized checks I needed to CA. Size is 14.5" x 3.5" x 3/4" finished with walnut oil and beeswax. Comments and advice are welcome.
