This nested set was turned so that I could do a demo for our local club. I used the next to the biggest bowl to demo how to return a cored bowl blank. It shows just a little in the picture, but this wood has some great curl in it. It turns like butter with a hot knife. The largest one is right at 15" across. It filled up my light tent. The next two are some med. sized HF's that I turned from some large bowl scraps that I cut off to make the blank. They are both turned from maple, and are between 7" and 8" tall by around 5" in dia.

Jack, You have done another round of great things! I love the set of bowls and will have to try a NE set now that I am getting good with the regular ones with the McNaughton system. Thanks for sharing your works with us.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. The bark isn't that hard to keep on during the turning. I just work an inch down thin at the rim and then move down and thin the next inch down and so on. It is much harder not knocking it off while sanding than it is while turning.
Thanks again,
Jack
