Tough bowl

[Tom Giacomo]

This came straight from Malcolm's book. I though I would try to learn the techinque. With the instructions right in front of me I had a hell of a time gettine it right.

[David Christopher]

Tom, your " hell of a time " paid off. it looks great

[John W Dixon]

Tom, I gotta agree with David. That looks great. Nice job, you should be proud!

I'd say apparently you read quite well and your reading comprehension is good too!

Nicely done Sir!

[Richard Madison]

Damn nice job Tom! That indian blanket pattern is difficult to get perfect, even with the book in front of you. Overall your joinery and alignment are very good. Looking forward to your next piece.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Very impressive work Tom! Great color contrast - excellent design! Looks like it was worth the challenge! Thanks for sharing!

[Rob Cunningham]

That's a great looking piece. Seems like you got it right.

[Jeff Nicol]

Tom, That is the whole reason why lots of us don't or have not tried the segmented realm of turning!! If it was easy we all would be stars!! You did a great job and your persistance paid off. One day before I die I will try one!! (I THINK!!)

Thanks and keep at it,

Jeff

Sheesh. It don't get any better than that! I've tried that pattern for feature rings before, without a lot of success. Kudos for a job well done!

Looks like your woods are cherry, walnut and maple...but what is the red wood used in the feather design?

[Steve Frederick]

Wow! Very nice!
I love the feature band!

Beautiful Tom. I would say you got it down. Looks like you read well.
