Here is the collection of eggs I'm working on. So far I only have 7 but I figure the more I make the faster I'll become. I like to fill a bigger bowl for Easter.
The bowl is 6" x 2" someone at work asked me to make him one. First time selling a bowl so I'm pretty happy with that. Hopefully I'll sell a few more later.
Thanks for looking

Very nice! "Unique" is the word that comes to mind..

I always like ambrosia! Great bowl, and the form and the finish on the eggs are great. It really takes some skill to get them to all look similar!

Nice work Alex! Eggs look great - love the various colors! Bowl has a nice classic form to it, good looking finish and a unique foot area.
Congrats on your sale! Hopefully this bowl will generate many more!

Beautiful work... can I have an omelet with the walnut and the oak? Those are the only two I can identify... maybe one ash.
I like the bottom feature, also... is this so it can be remounted to do some finish repairs if should become necessary?
Well done!

Thanks for the comments. The foot is something I'm experimenting with. Nex I'll try hollowing the whole thing and get ride of the center. I left the center there for decor, but I don't know if it adds to the looks or not. I welcome opinions there.
No supid questions here besides mineOriginally Posted by Steve Schlumpf
they are solid
You are welcome to make your self an omelet. The woods are:
Oak and walnut as you mentioned. Then Lyptus, magnolia, cherry,choke something (not that you dirty mind) and spoted ebony
Your wish is my command. I just finished turning an egg just to take pictures for you. I'll post them later today.
Thank you all for your nice comments.
