    Walnut NE bowl

    I turned this from a small half log that I got from Doug Swanson last summer in our big wood trade. The log was in great shape and the bark was solid, and it just begged to be a ne bowl. It's 6 1/2" x 5 1/4" x 2 1/2" with a couple coats of danish oil.

    That came out great, Kathy. The sapwood sure is dark, but it makes for a very nice look.

    What are you doing up so early, or up so late?????

    Thanks John, the pic is a little dark but the sapwood was dark so not alot of contrast there, but it kind of gives it an old look.
    I stayed home from work today, errr yesterday, and kinda slept the day away so I'm up a little later than usual.

    Kathy I like it but I'm partial to NE walnut. I find that sapwood on some are well defined and not so much on others.

    Beautiful work, Kathy. The curve your you chose is right on.

    Nice work again! I've still got a few pieces of that walnut left so I may have to try this when I'm done rearranging my shop....

    I really like these kind of flat natural edge bowls and walnut even makes it better. Beautiful.

    Beautiful Kathy. That is the darkest sap wood I have seen on Walnut. Looks great though.
