Check out my Ash Crotch Bowl

[Mike Stephens]

9" Diameter x 2 1/2" tall. Turned green, dried and returned. I sanded the bowl to 600 grit and finished it with Mahoneys Walnut oil.

Mike, I am surprised at the nice, warm patina the ash has! Lot more character than one might expect.

Love the form, and the crotch grain!! Nice work!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Really a great looking bowl Mike. Really nice simple form and wood has some great character to it.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Nice bowl Mike! Really like the form and the rich color!

[Mike Peace]

Good looking bowl. I like the way you finished the bottom.

[David E Keller]

Beautiful color and grain with a pleasing shape. Nicely done.

Mike, that's a pretty bold title :eek:.

Mike, that's a pretty bold title :eek:.

:D :D :D

Nice bowl, Mike. I too am pleasantly surprised by the warm color. I would have thought that it would be really pale.

[Mike Stephens]

Thanks for the feed back.

The color would have been very pale (light) but I soaked the rough out in used dna and I'm afraid it altered the color.:o

In the future I may need to have 2 separate dne baths. One for dark woods and 1 clean for light woods.

Kiss my Ash Crotch :cool:
Mike
