Think I like this one a lot better than the sasafrass piece. Here, the proportions seems to fit better. Then again, it is all personal opinion isn't it. You probably already have a buyer for both pieces and that more important than what I think about a piece. Both are nice, but I do like this one better. You do good work my friend.

Thanks Rev, I do like this one better too but as far as both of them go I had to work within the blanks I had. And yes, I do have buyers for both of them already, one wanted a fruit bowl (sassafrass) and the other wanted a large salad bowl (this one).

I figured as much. Don't know why I didn't even think of the sassafrass piece as a fruit bowl. Dooh! 8)

Really like the banded look you got with the texturing tool. Could that be a possible candidate for a video? I'm afraid it's more of a 'get the feel of the tool' type of technique, though.

Actually Rick, that would be an easy video to do and it's not really a get a feel for the tool. The tool is mainly a matter of the speed and angle of presentation. I'll see able putting it online soon.

Very good bowl. The double bead rim, and the textured band and foot are nice additions. Never tried Walnut oil, does it ever dry?

I don't know if it dries Gil, but that's probably because I burnish it in with paper towels after letting a thick coat set for about 10 minutes.
