BFAB with a twist

[Mike Golka]

I decided to try Bob Hamilton's bowl from a board. I made mine taller with the idea of making a stand for it. Woods are maple and walnut with a couple coats of tung oil. I didn't get the dove tails lined up very well, :( maybe on the next one. Sorry about the dust.:o All coments welcome.

Looks great to me Mike! Really like the stand! Has a real modern art type of look to it! Nice job on the bowl also! The contrasting colors work well! Very nice work!

[Norm Zax]

Nice job indeed! I love the stand's shape but the double color distracts from the bowl's double side. Somewhat confusing. How about a thick metal wire curled the same as in your wooden support? Bowl is superb.

[Steve Mawson]

Had not seen this before. Very impressive. Stand really sets it off.

[Derek Hansen]

A dovetail bowl! That is too cool!

[Alan Trout]

Mike I love it! that is just to cool. I not all that into segmented work, but I might just have to give that a go sometime.

Mike,

I love both stand and bowl. Very well done.

[Mark Placek]

Nice bowl and stand Mike!
I know how difficult getting the joints to line up can be.
After 10-20 bowls it will get easier... lol

[Joshua Dinerstein]

Wow. Love them both but that stand is totally awesome!

Thanks for all your kind words everyone. I normaly hotglue the ring being added to the stack to a piece of MDF to aid in alignment but didn't on this piece.:o They moved when applying pressure and I didn't notice until it was too late. Shortcuts don't pay.:mad:

[Jim Kountz]

Man thats awesome, I love it!!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Wow how cool is that. Both pieces look great.
