Maple Crotch Bowl

[Allen Schmid]

My first posting of any pictures...hope this works
A shallow bowl, 6"x1 1/2", from a maple tree in my sisters yard. Mounted the bowl into some oneway jumbo jaws to turn away the foot and left a very small recess. Finished with Antique Oil.
You guys make this all look easy; the turning and the photos...I'll try my best and certainly over time will make improvement.
Any and all comments are welcome.

Allen - what's to improve? Beautiful bowl - both form and wood! Love the soft finish! Very nice - seriously, very nice work! Hope to see some more of your work real soon!

[Allen Schmid]

Thanks guys! Means a lot to me as I have been following your work for a while, you all have been great inspiration; to keep plugging away on form, finish and technique to get to a good looking finished product.

That looks great! I do like the way you did the foot and the finish is great. Keep 'em coming.

All the best.

OOOOOH Allen! that is really a beautiful piece. Well turned and finished with nothing to critique. For the photo it turned out well but raise the sheet you are using for the background. The distraction of the blue wall behind that beautiful bowl draws the attention away from your piece...Bill...

Allen, you're selling yourself short brother! That bowl looks great and the crotch pattern down the middle there is way nice. You're well on your way!!
