NE bowl

[Kyle Iwamoto]

Bowl finally worthy of posting. I think...... This is a milo bowl. A local semi hard wood.

Sorry for the ghetto pics, I'm not a photographer. They're sitting on my finishing table.

Comments of course are wanted.

Very nice looking bowl. That natural edge on the rim just makes that bowl stand out.

[John Keeton]

Very nice form, good finish, and that wood is really nice! You should get more of it!

[John Hart]

Nice bowl Kyle! I love the wood. Where'd you get it? I used to live in Haleiwa and never saw that before. It almost has the same character as Koa. Very pretty

[Baxter Smith]

Good looking bowl and very pretty wood. Nice job!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Good looking bowl! Great looking wood! Love the rich color!

[Richard Madison]

Nice bowl and pretty wood Kyle. Can you show us a profile view?

[Cathy Schaewe]

Very nice. What are the dimensions?

[Joe Little]

Beautiful wood, came out very nice.

[Allen Neighbors]

Kyle, this is beautiful. I saw it on another forum, I think... this is the second time I've heard of Milo. (Other than a farm & ranch crop, here in Texas, that is.)

I was mistaken... I went back to the other forum, and discovered it wasn't the same bowl... You did a good job of keeping the bark on this, Kyle... Nice work!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Really a nice looking bowl. I like the wood.

[David E Keller]

I like it a lot. I'd like to see the profile pic as well.

Milo is a beautiful wood. I wish it grew around here. You're fortunate to have access to some of the most beautiful wood on earth.

Great looking bowl Kyle

[Karl Card]

I am jealous.... Hawaii has most all the great wood.

Beautiful bowl by the way.

what did you finish it with?

[Brett Bobo]

Very nice, Kyle! What's the finish?

[Thomas Bennett]

You got it figured out! Keep up the good work.

Thank you for all the nice comments. It's finished with Wipe On Poly, and buffed (really) with Ren wax. Millo is a local semi-hardwood. Very easy to turn, but very prone to rotting. It's fairly hard to get, I planted one in my yard. In 25 years, I'll have a tree that I can make another of those bowls... LOL

The bowl is about 8 inches, the practical maximum for a Jet Mini. Attached is the profile, which is of very sad quality..

Hmmm. Where is that attachment....
