Boy, for a guy who hasn't had much time to turn lately this looks really nice. Last week I finally got to turn again after almost a week and half away from the lathe and it showed. I blew up two hollow forms and two natural edge bowls. Things have gotten better now, but man it was down right disheartening there for a couple of days.

I like that bowl Gary; very nice wood, great compound curves, and the rim is excellent.

This is gorgeous Gary, your forms have always inspired me. The rim looks similar to the treatment I give my salad bowls, but I like how yours has two different "rims" better with this form.

Gary, very nice. Not sure I've seen a rim treated this way before. I really like it. Just that last bit of detail that sets this piece off in any collection. Most excellent. 8)

OUTSTANDING Gary.... very nice. I was shocked to see your name up here because I thought you were a regular over at WOW. drop me an e-mail and let me know how you been and what you have been turning ok.. for me I just got back into turning because of my work situation.

Hey Larry, even I'm a reg on WoW and woodcentral for that matter...no one site has it all, but the three of us are pretty close. Wink

Use them together and it becomes a pretty powerful mix. I've added 2 German forums to my list, so I now visit 5 a day.
