David - that is folk art at it's finest! Great form, natural color, texture and woodburning! I would be afraid of putting a finish on it in case it changed the color! Love it as is! Be sure to tell your wife - this is outstanding! Thanks for sharing!

That is nice David.

I wish my wife had an intrest in turning, she is very artistic.

You are a lucky man.

I gave the invite to my wife last night. Not sure she is ever going to try it but she didn't outright say no way so there is some promise there.

Nice bowl!

She laughs every time I offer to let her play out there (thats ok though, it's my place to escape :D) David tell your wife that bowl looks great, she sure has a steady hand with the wood burner. I know I'd never be able to make something look that good.

What's the word for something that's beyond spectacular? That is it. What kind of wood? Did I miss that?

Amazing work.

My wonderful wife supports me 1000% in the shop but does not come in the shop often - lucky you - you guys have something in common and can be together doing it:D Great job!!!

Are you left handed??? As you are standing with the turning tool in your left hand. I am left handed and find it awkward sometimes holding the tool.
