Black Walnut Bowl

[Curt Fuller]

This is a small, 9.5" x 3.5", Black Walnut bowl. I really like pretty wood, but I love ugly wood. I'm one that tends to like a lot of things going on in the wood, voids, bark inclusions, curl, cracks, worm holes, spalting, warping. This has them all.

Good looking bowl Curt! Lots of color variations! Pretty cool chunk of wood!

I gotta say... thats some "pretty" "ugly" wood..... it just makes me want to puke... and you can't get much better than that!!

The first pic looks like it's drooling... how sad...

Great job!!! More... more...!!!

That is a beauty Curt. I agree with ya that wood is nice.

I'm one that tends to like a lot of things going on in the wood, voids, bark inclusions, curl, cracks, worm holes, spalting, warping. This has them all.It sure does!! Great job, Curt. I don't mind that stuff either, and it actually does add to the character of a bowl. But, I do think one has to take into consideration all of that in the look of a piece. And, you certainly do a good job of that, Curt. Very nice.

The color and texture actually look a lot like the Claro walnut I have been using.

[Robert McGowen]

Your bowl does have some character! I like it.

[Brian Effinger]

Nice bowl Curt, and I'm with you on the imperfections. They make things more interesting. :)

How did you finish the bowl? I ask because it seems really dark.

I love all that stuff in my work also. Try to find a bowl like that at wally world. Nice job!!

[George Guadiane]

Nothing ugly about the finished product! I love the bowl and all of the wonderful "flaws" in the wood.
