Black Cherry 11"X 4"

[Leo Van Der Loo]

Here's a Black Cherry bowl I re-turned a few days ago, it had a surprise knot in it, gives it some eye appeal ;)
Comments always welcome :D

Leo, Very nice bowl and a good one to be used and loved! I could sit in front of the TV watching a good movie with it full of popcorn! I enjoy your simple and pleasing designs. Lots of mine won't hold any thing with the holes in them!

Have a great day,

Jeff

Leo, nice form and I agree the knot gives is some extra eye appeal. I like the simple shapes.

[Tony Greenway]

Leo, you definitely have an eye for what the tree is hiding inside. I'm sure everyone looks forward to seeing the pictures that you post......Tony

[Steve Schlumpf]

Very nice work once again Leo! Love the classic shape and the undercut rim! Proof once again that a turning doesn't have to be fancy to grab your attention!

[steven carter]

Nice job Leo, very classic! Really like the grain pattern in the rim.

Another great bowl Leo! Glad you found the prize hidden inside too.:D

[John Nowack]

do youneed a speacial tolls or is it just some careful work with the gouge

[Leo Van Der Loo]

Hi John, thanks :D
No I don't use any special tools John, yes always very careful going in :) with a conventional sharpened gouge, takes a bit of practice, I like the looks of a undercut rim on some bowls :D

[Paul Douglass]

Very nice looking bowl. Really like the end grain on the rim.

[Jim Kountz]

Another winner Leo, always love your work and this one is no exception!!

[Leo Van Der Loo]

Thanks for commenting Jeff :D
T'was a pretty good piece of Cherry, just a couple of small checks in the little branch knots, but all nice and solid, it will be much nicer I when the color has matured some I think, that's my fav' look of Cherry :)

[Leo Van Der Loo]

Hi Jim :), thanks for your comment, we'll keep trying :D

Thank you Steven :D, yes that's Cherry for you, pretty wood :)

[Leo Van Der Loo]

Hi Barry yes I found it, don't know if I was looking for that one though :D :D :D, Kidding, thanks :)

[Leo Van Der Loo]

Thanks for commenting Paul, the concave rim does bring out the grain pattern verry well, I am pleased with that :)

[Bernie Weishapl]

Leo great looking bowl. I like the simple form and great finish. What finish did you use Leo?

[Leo Van Der Loo]

Hi Bernie:), thanks, as I assume there's a good chance the bowl will be used for food service, I wiped some Clapham's Beeswax Salad bowl finish on it :)
