    Latest bowl and rough outs

    I really wish my photography was 1/100th of Ken Hills... but here are a few

    1st is a 7" Ambrosia Maple of the Cruz farm. Finish sanded to 1000grit, Walnut Oil and paper towel buffed.

    2nd is a NE Cherry Crotch rough out which came from Tony DeMasi

    3rd is a Oak Burl from Ken Hill's Burl-A-Rama - I have a vision in my head on how this will look. Hope it happens in real life! Plan on a semi thin wing, with a shallow bowl top.. xfingers

    Got a few Thompson tools in and made some handles. 1 3/8" scraper with Walnut handle, 3/8" and 1/4" detail gouges with Hard Maple handles.

    You've got a nice collection going on there. My favorite is the oak burl. Quite nice, all of them, including the Thompson's!

    Nicely done on the maple Peter. Looking forward to seeing it in person too. That oak is going to be a really nice piece too.
