    Maple Bowl w/Scene

    OK, I suppose my imagination is just working overtime but looking into the bowl I see something – do you? Yeah, I know… I’ve been turning too many bowls!

    This is maple 10 ¼” x 3” with a 3/8” rim rapidly tapering to a ¼” thick bowl. Included a few additional photos as the bowl looks very different from each side.

    Thanks for looking!

    A harvest moon over the mountains and the lake Great piece Steve. Don't you just love a great grain as it appears in your turning? You're one heck of a turner. Don't forget to visit the family.

    That's fantastic! I agree, looks like a landscape. Really nice form as well.

    As oriented, I see a small cove, canyonland background, and the sun in a glaringly bright sky. That it?
    Nice bowl! Good form, too.

    I'm a little weird

    Good job on the bowl, but I kinda see the monster from my favorite horror flick. Creature from the Black lagoon.
    Yes Dear, I could build that for you if I only had that new ...

    Although I seem to have a limited visual imagination on the image created by the figure I can't miss the great looking bowl you've created.
    Congrats.

    Another beauty Steve. I really like the wood and form. Well done.

    Very nice looking piece. Can't say that I see anything though.

    I bet that bowl was finished with spray lacquer (hic)!!

    Oh wait it's not John's piece, hmmm maybe still. Nice piece by the way, and no I don't see anything in it, except maybe a scoop of nice cappuccino chunky chocolate chip ice cream. My idea at least matches the rain colorations!

    COOL, the first view looks like a landscape that might have been done by Edvard Munch! (if you look up "the scream," you might see this guy as EXTRA funny)
    Very nice!!!
