Shallow Figured Maple Bowl.

Good Day to the Turners of the Creek!
Great day in my shop.
Stereo cranked up and wood chips flying...

This is the biggest diameter I've done to date.

12" X 2 1/4"
I thought it was big until I put it on the mustard monster....

Gary, that blank was worth every penny you paid for it!! Gorgeous!! And, the guy that turned it did good, too!!

Geri says she wants a set of 12!:eek: How much was the blank??????

[David Christopher]

Gary, thats a beautiful bowl, I would agree that you had a good day in the shop

[Baxter Smith]

Very pretty piece and then some. I like the shape, really shows off the inside. I bet it looks great on a table!

[Jim Kountz]

Now thats one good looking bowl!! I know a 12" bowl is nice size but I bet it did look small on the PM!!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Wow! Very pretty bowl Gary! Love the wood! Great form and finish! This is one of those pieces that when you hold it up to look at it when you first finish it - you know you just created a winner! Very nice - seriously - very nice work!

[Richard Madison]

Very nice bowl and beautiful wood Gary. The shallow foot works very well.

[Brian Effinger]

Beautiful bowl, and figure Gary. The form is spot on. :)

Thanks for all the comments guys!

The finish is mineral oil, followed by ultra shine, and then a high gloss friction wax.

[Curt Fuller]

Wow, that's a beautiful bowl. That wood is spectacular.

[David E Keller]

That's beautiful. The wood is fantastic, and I'd love to know where you got it. If you don't mind sharing sources, I'm all ears.

David.
All of my turning blanks have come from a company called Black Forest Wood Company.
They are located in Calgary AB.

Great guys there, and they have some real nice chunks of wood
It is also where I got my 3520B.

John Keetons 3520B is also there.
They are just waiting for his address so they can ship it to him.:D:D:D

Gary,

We have a number of places Stateside that can ship one to John and save him the import fees. They too are waiting for an address and CC #.:D

[John Keeton]

They too are waiting for an address and CC #.:DThat would be the part where a little help would be appreciated!! Gary, why don't you go ahead and put that on your card, and I will pay you back one walnut board at a time!!!:D:D:D;) At the prices you Canadians pay for walnut, I may be able to get that thing paid for in a few short months!:eek:

[Bill Bolen]

spectacular wood and a fine bowl too! Love all that grain action...Bill...
