Simple bowl - wonderful wood.

Cherry from the back yard. 10 1/2" x 3" - AO - not buffed and I don't think I will.

Toney, that is a beautiful bowl... and I agree I wouldnt buff either

[Gary Herrmann]

Definitely, it looks great just the way it is.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Beautiful bowl Toney. I wouldn't buff that one either.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Great looking bowl Toney! Love the rich color, the worm holes, bark inclusion and the soft finish! You got a winner with this one! Very nice work!

[Steve Mawson]

Looks great the way it is.

Well done, love the wood

[Bill Bolen]

Mighty pretty bowl. Love all the grain action and inclusion. I think a soft glow from buffing would just make all that stand out even more..Bill..

[Leo Van Der Loo]

[Dewey Torres]

Great turning , skill level and photo... triple play!

[Jeff Nicol]

Toney, That bowl has everything that a great turned piece should have! It has color, shape, figure, inclusions, tactile appeal and an over all beauty! You did a fine job of revealing all the greatness from within the log.

Super job,

Jeff

Toney,

I don't know which is better, the bowl or the photography, they are both top notch! What did you use for the background?

Toney, a really nice bowl with a great rim feature. Simple but very elegant.

[Rick Prosser]

I like it too. Not a big fan of hi-gloss bowls, so I vote no buffing. I don't think anyone will complain;)

Now I gotta go find my own piece of cherry to turn...

[Mike Vickery]

very nice looking piece.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Very nice bowl Toney! I agree..don't buff it.

[Toney Robertson]

Thanks to all for the comments.

I guess my initial thought of not buffing is shared by most of you.

Steven,

Here is the link for the background that I used

Nice bowl Toney. Like the rim treatment. Must disagree on the buffing. I would buff it LIGHTLY with the white compound only. That will not increase the gloss substantially, and will make it feel better in the hands.

Toney, great looking bowl and pictures. It looks like it's just floating in mid air. I really like the rim too....:):)....Tony
