This is the bowl that prompted the comment from a friend about "putting a lid on these little bowls so they would be useful" and the creation of the Blue Maho box in a previous post.
I learned that Quilted Maple is VERY unforgiving and that you HAVE to have VERY sharp tools.

Great looking bowl Bill. I like the form, wood and finish. Well done.

Do a search on SMC for "bonker"...it will make you smile...
Good spindle projects include candle sticks, tool handles, ornaments, etc.

Thanx everyone... I'm still learning the fine art of bowl turning... making a lot of catch all's for the shop.
Jim - I think you were responding to the newbie turning idea thread w/ the bonkers... but I did the search and spent the next hour laughing my butt off... you guys are just bad!.... I learned a lot... I didn't know that all those pieces of firewood I turned in the beginning were actually bonkers... hell, I've got a LOT of 'em. I even had some guys from a heat and air supply company pay me $10 each for "eel bonkers" made from 3x3 oak pallet skids that they throw away...
