First a combined shot taken quick on my worktabel..

All are beauties Rasmus. I really like the right one.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Wow - beautiful work Rasmus! 3 bowls - 3 very different styles! Really like the natural edge elm burl! Very thin and reminds me of an egg shell! The elm burl bowl has that contemporary 'thick' look and should really grab your customer's attention! Great form on the red alder burl bowl! Can't believe how thin you got it! Very nice work - seriously - very nice work on everything! Thanks for sharing!

Very nice burls and work. I like #2. Scary though to use a fire source as a scale. replace the zippo with a coke bottle, eh?

[Toney Robertson]

Nice Rasmus.

[Jeff Nicol]

Rasmus,

That is a great trio of bowls! I really like the heavy wide rimmed one, it shows all the burl and twisted grain, very nice! Show us more when you can!

Beautiful work. All of your turnings have a very natural form. You've done an excellent job of pulling the form from the wood. Something MichaelAngelo would be proud of.

[Chris Rae]

Very beautiful work!! I can't even pick a favorite. I love the variety of styles, you are very good at that.

[Rasmus Petersen]
