Small Walnuts

[Mark Cothren]

Just a small bowl and a small hollow form... but some very pretty wood, in my opinion. The bowl is 3-1/2" tall and the hollow form is 4-1/2" tall... both pieces are 7" wide. Comments/critiques welcomed.

Mark, both of those are beautiful

Way to go Mark, wood work and finish looks great. I really like the HF.

[John Keeton]

Man, those would look good in ash!!:D:D Just kiddin' - I was pretty sure you were gettin' low on ash anyway.

Mark, these are some fine looking pieces. I think you did right by making the HF from the piece you chose - a lot of character. Very nice work on both - smooth finish, what did you use?

[Mark Cothren]

...finish, what did you use?

Antique oil on both. Wipe it on good and thick and just as it starts to get tacky wipe it off and rub it in. Neither of these pieces were buffed.

There is great beauty in simplicity. Love the AO as well. It wants to be touched. Very well done!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Beautiful work Mark! Both are really nice pieces but I really like the hollow form! Very nice shape to it!

The Walnut sure seems to have an abundance of colors! Thanks for sharing!

Very nice Mark. I really like the shape and character of the HF.

[Josh Bowman]

Mark those look great! Nothing like good old walnut, it always is easy on the eyes.

[James Roberts]

I love walnut Mark and I love what you did with these two pieces. I'm really drawn to the hollow form, nice shape and beautiful figure.

Nothing wrong with small Mark,as my LOML reminds me at times, shes 5' tall. :D
I like them, good form and good choice of timber for the shape

[David E Keller]

Beautiful wood and nice, flowing forms. Two more beautiies from you!

[Robert McGowen]

Very nice work, Mark. That hollow form looks like it only weighs a couple of ounces.

Mark,

Both are very nice pieces, I really like the form of the HF, and like the accent rings on the bowl. Gotta love walnut!

Nice form on both of them, Mark! Small is good. Large takes up a lot more space on the shelves. :D Well done! I love Walnut!

[Curt Fuller]

Man Mark, both are beautiful Cothren classics! You have such an eye for form. But I also have to say that I'm impressed with your point and shoot photos. Dark woods are so hard to get an accurate photograph of and yours look like they're sitting on the table in front of me.
