Good day to the Turners of the Creek!

Another CM 12" shallow bowl.

And a bit of spalt as a bonus.

That is an amazing bowl Gary! Can almost feel the ripples from here! Beautiful wood, color and finish! Very impressive work that you have been displaying here! Keep it up!

Beautiful wood... The form is simple as it should be with wood of that quality. Thanks for posting the pics

Gary, I have access to lots of maple, but I never seem to find the great stuff like your bowl! I guess I will have to put in more time digginf through the wood in the forest to find the gems.

Great bowl and really show the figure with the finish that you applied.

Gary, you know curly maple makes me salivate!!!:D That is a beautiful piece. You really scored on some of those blanks you bought - nice stuff! The mineral oil seems to really pop the grain nicely, and I like the finish - not too glossy - just enough.

Thanks for all the comments everyone.

This blank was one of my last with the AAA grade.
I will have to put myself on a ration till I can get back to Calgary to pick up a few more!
