Thread: Black Walnut Natural Edge

  1. Black Walnut Natural Edge

    Once again I dipped into the never-ending supply of Black Walnut (I know that's what y'all think anyway ) and turned this bowl recently. I don't have the exact dimensions, but it's about 12" x 6" and has an antique oil finish.

    Comments/critiques/suggestions/opinions welcomed.

    Mark, the form is very pleasing, I like the way the grain gives it movement and the finish is right on. Good work!

    Comment: I'm jealous
    Critique: it's not in the mail on it's way to me
    suggestion: send it to me!!!
    opinion: absolute perfection in finish, design, and follow through.

    Really, it is a great piece of wood, and you did a fine job bringing the beauty out of it.
    Be a mentor, it's so much more fun throwing someone else into the vortex, than swirling it alone!

    Absolutely beautiful work Mark! Love the luminescent qualities of the sapwood, the super thin bark and of course the finish! Great job! Also like the photography. You just keep improving!

    Mark,

    This one looks very, very nice. I really like the thin appearance of the wall and bark. Makes it look very delicate. Yet, another awesome piece bud.
    Thanks & Happy Wood Chips,

    You think it looks nice in the pics? It's actually at least 10 times better in person. It was simply wonderful to handle and admire. What doesn't show up that well is the super details of the burned foot. Sadly, it went home with someone else.

    What a gorgeous bowl! The bit of figure just under the bark is gorgeous! The wood and the shape and the finish is stunning! Another awesome piece!!!

    Wow, now this one caught my attention....the profile, is just perfect! A pic of the burnt foot would be nice. The finish is perfect. Overall, really, very nice.

    Good job
