Here are a few bowls my students just finished. A big thank your to the members that donated tools to our shop. They where key in giving my students enough to go around with the new lathes we bought with the AAW grant money. The boxes are turned from some old half logs of cherry and maple I found behind the shop. They had a moister content of around 11% and worked out great for my students to make some nice size boxes.

This is a cherry box that one of my students made. It has rhododenron burl insert in the top where I poked two holes thru it checking the moister content. I gave him a nice piece of my burl to make it better than it was before the my brain cramp.
