I haven't posted anything in a while, mostly due to my other hobby filling my spare time (it is hunting season in Montana). However, I finished this bowl a little while ago and finally took some photos of it. Looks like a need to keep practicing with the camera.
The bottom of the bowl is birdseye redwood, the white is hard maple, the dark red rings are bloodwood, and the 'feature ring' is quilted cherry. At least the lumber yard said it was quilted cherry, I am not that impressed with the look of the cherry but seemed worth a try. I like the look of the bloodwood but holy cow is it hard, sharpen, turn for a minute and resharpen, repeat!:eek:
