I'm new to wood turning, but I have a great teacher. He's been my close friend for over 15 years and I thought I'd share with you guys some of his art work.
He likes making checkerboard bowls. :D
He will take two wood species that greatly contrasts, then make a checkerboard block and then turn that into a bowl or cup.
His favorite and trademark combination is ebony and holly.
Though he also likes bloodwood, mahogany, and maple.
Anyways, I'll let the pictures do the talking. Maybe this will be inspiration for some people.
