Very nice, Ken. I like the repeated detail at the rim and the bottom.

[Bill Bolen]

I don't see this form often but sure am attracted to it. Cool piece...Bill...

[John Keeton]

Ken, very nice work on this one!! Love the detailing and finish - really shows well on the maple.

[Rich Aldrich]

Nice bowl. The detail really looks good.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Nice bowl Ken! I really like the plain wood look of this - real clean! Nice detail work - especially like the contrasting elements between inside/outside of the bowl!

[Baxter Smith]

The wood may be plain but the details dress it up and make it a pretty bowl!

[Don Alexander]

the wood may be plain but the turning decidedly is not! very nice job Ken

[Bernie Weishapl]

Really a nice bowl and love the detailing on it.

[gary Zimmel]

A few well placed details sure dressed this one up..
Nice work Ken.

[Faust M. Ruggiero]

Ken,
That's the beauty of maple. A really stable wood that you can embellish with detail. I really like the shape of this one.

Nice Ken. I like the added detail work. Maple can be plain. At a recent presentation Graeme Priddle made the point that if the wood is the star keep the design simple, if the wood is plain, then kick up the design to show off turning skills. I think you did this on the piece.

[Roland Martin]

Nice details on this bowl, Ken. Very well done.

[charlie knighton]

[Richard Madden]

[Jim Burr]

Perfect bowl Ken, I love the shape/form on both the inside and outside, the sharp delineation works well on this plain Maple, well done :cool: :D

[David E Keller]

Great looking piece!

[Ken Hill]

I appreciate the comments.

The next 3 just like it went into the woodstove.

One of a kind makes it more valuable!:D or are you out of firewood?;)

[Ron Stadler]

Great looking bowl, nice job on the detail too.

[Roger Chandler]

Way to go Ken! You are really progressing in your turnings. I like to watch the improvement and refinements on each new piece you post. Keep up the good work!

[Ken Hill]

Baxter- You are a funny guy haha! I cut firewood from dawn to dusk saturday, and am getting ready to head back out as soon as its light enough to see!

Thanks everyone else. I really dont know what happened, except that I know my V on my varigrind slid on me and gave me a very weird angle that I did not catch until bowl #2. By #3 I was frustrated and trying to get my gouge back to where I like it and just made stupid mistakes. I took a break and roughed out a Hickory NE so all is good.

[Tony De Masi]

Real nice piece Ken. Simple, elegant, and clean. Very well done.

[Dale Bright]
