One more from the Iowa pine tree I picked up a few years ago. This required a lot of sanding and it shows. C&C appreciated.

I’d say all the work is worth it, it is a beauty, just like Sid says, Love the colors shape and finish, well done
Have fun and take care
Great looking piece. Nice form, color and finish. The knots really add to it.
I've never heard of "blue pine" is that a real species of pine or is it a pine that has been infected with the pine beetle?
Beautiful! I have a small stash of blue pine, I suppose I should put some on the lathe.
Beautiful. Well worth the fffort
When working I had more money than time. In retirement I have more time than money. Love the time, miss the money.
Real nice and like other said, the colors are outstanding.

Thanks Doug. We had a widespread pine beetle infestation several years ago. Pretty much wiped the SYP out in my area. Unfortunately I wasn't a "turner" then.
I keep going back to your bowl, I love everything about it especially the shape. I may have to "try" and make a copy of it out of a piece of Ambrosia Maple.
Looking really nice in all aspects. I am in agreement with the others. Blued pine is pretty common here. Yours is lovely.
C&C WELCOME
And they say Pine is trash wood not worth turning. You sure showed them wrong. Lots of good things there with the color, knots, grain, ........ Very nice work and finish also.
Great day thats pretty!!!!!!!
