    First Bowl of Frankie

    This is the first bowl to come off my new lathe and boy do I like Frankie.

    This is a walnut ne measuring in at 11"x6 1/2", buffed antique oil. I took Travis idea's and chiseled out 3 feet. I normally do not name my peices but for some reason nuclear comes to mind with this peice anyone fiure out why. As alwys critiques are welcome.

    Great piece and I do like the feet. The nice thing is that you can experiment on that idea over and over again as you do more pieces. And there is nothing more stable than a three-foot foot!

    Excellent walnut NE Bob. I really like the feet on it. Very well done. Looks like the lathe is going to serve you well.
