    Square plate

    What can I say? I'm just too lazy to cut the corners off....

    White ash plate, 7 1/2" square by 1" high. Clapham's Salad Bowl finish.

    Take care

    That does it! Bob...these pieces you do are such an inspiration, I'm going to turn one tomorrow. This one just pushed me over the edge. I love it.

    Bob, this goes beyond being square. It is more of a "wave". Great job

    Great form Bob! Looks like the bowl is perfectly centered, same curve to each wing. Very nice work!

    Did you put that in the microwave after turning or a medium hot oven? Just kidding, that curve looks so natural it looks like it melted. Really nice piece.

    Bob, nice plate,you really nailed the grain.Arn't these fun to do. I want to dye one and then do the final turning and see what happens, but not sure if to dye the inside or the outside or the " flats" and then turn the " bowl" , what do you think?

    Beautiful job Bob. I don't know whether to be inspired or dumbfounded.
