Third bowl

[Steve Busey]

Haven't posted here in ages, but just finished a bowl to give to my mother-in-law, so tried to snag a couple pictures before she leaves town with it. This is from a piece of cherry from her son's property in the North Georgia mountains. 7.5" diameter, 3" high. Danish oil and buffed. Plenty of room for improvement! :rolleyes: Thanks for looking.

Steve, pretty low resolution on the pics, but from what I can see it looks very nice. Nice history to the wood, and I am sure she will appreciate it very much.

Steve, pretty low resolution on the pics,

Yea, I pretty much had to shoot it by candlelight, need to get some stronger bulbs. Advantage of the poor resolution is that you cannot see the scratches remaining from the sanding... :o

Steve - that's a nice looking bowl! Love working with Cherry - amazing wood! Your MIL should love it! Nice work!

Hope this means you are going to start posting some of your work! Been awhile! Welcome back!

Nice looking bowl. I have only turned one cherry bowl out of a piece of firewood but it does look nice. (The wood that is!):)
Yours has a nice history to it which makes it even better.

Really nice bowl with some nice history.

Steve, I like the form of this bowl. The cherry is nice, as is the finish.

Pretty wood and a nice, simple form. I like it a lot. I wish we had cherry around here.
