Good Day to the Turners of he Creek.
For the past week it's been cherry bowl time.
First one is a small candy/peanut bowl. (or thats what we will go with)

Six in total so it won't be a big dinner party....
Now to find a big chunk of cherry for the main bowl.

Hope everyone gets a little lathe time this weekend!

Very nice work, Gary!

What did you finish them with?

[gary Zimmel]

Thanks Pete.
All have a few coats of mineral oil on them and the small bowl has some friction wax on it..

The 'Maker of Salad Bowls'!!! Gary, you are the salad bowl king. I hate to ask, but just on weight alone, of all that 8/4 wood you cut up - how much has been taken out in shavings????:eek: So far, isn't that two sets of salad bowls, and a few other odds and ends?

[gary Zimmel]

Thanks John.
It's just about time to haul a few more shaving out of the shop...

No walnut in here so it will go out to the back of the pasture..

I really like those bowls. Nicely done.

[James Roberts]

Nice bowls Gary, especially the set of salads. Don't know if I could duplicate one piece let alone six.

[gary Zimmel]

Thanks David and James.
And now it looks like bubinga bowls will be on the agenda for the next couple of weeks.

Nice work Gary! I love turning Cherry and you have some great looking wood here! Not often that I find it with that rich of a color already! Going to be some beautiful stuff after a couple of years of use!
