    New Bowl

    I'm starting to turn some for a show that's coming up the first weekend of May. Here's a cherry bowl. There's a couple of things that are different about this one. I balanced the grain across the bowl and I undercut the inside edge slightly to create a small shadow.

    I happen to like that a lot Raymond. That is a rough tough burly looking bowl suitable for sitting on my lap with a big pile of popcorn. The bowl is pretty and yet remains functional. Nice job!

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    I like that bowl a lot Raymond. It has that hefty look but is yet very pleasing to the eye. I like the fit and finish. Great work.
