Finally, got out of the kitchen!

Finally got away for a while this week from the extreme kitchen makeover my wife has been begging me to do...and finish.

Two bowls for an upcoming church silent auction. The pecan bowl from a tree that the wind took down in a friend's yard a few months ago. Got about 30+ bowls roughed out from that load. This bowl is 8 3/4" in diameter and about 2 1/4" deep. Love the worm holes.

The cherry bowl came from a tree I cut down last December. It's 6 1/4" in diameter and 3 3/8" deep.

Both are finished with Watco natural and 3 coats of spray Deft lacquer, buffed with #0000 steel wool.

Comments are welcome.

Really nice looking bowls and should do really well at the auction. I do like both. Good to get some shop time.

Nice work on both but I really like the Pecan because of all the character the worm holes give it!

Best of luck at the auction!

[Mike Willeson]

Very nice Steve. Love the pecan wood!

[David E Keller]

Both are nice, but that pecan is especially cool!

[John Keeton]

The cherry one is nice, but that pecan is fantastic!! Nice work!

[Michelle Rich]

Love the pecan, it's stunning wood.

Thanks for the comments. I love that pecan too. Out of all the bowls I roughed out, a good bit of it has those wormholes...can't wait to see what they turn into!
