New turnings

[Matt Newton]

I've been very busy getting some bowls done for the holiday season. My latest bowls have been experiments in adding embelishments. The following are all cherry (my favorite wood) Please add any C&C. It always helps to hear from such a great group of artists.174794174793174792174791

That's a great assortment! I really like the different embellishments, too!

[Bob Bergstrom]

like them all. The first one really catches my eye. Beautiful work.

[charlie knighton]

very nice.....

[Curt Fuller]

Wow, those are all really pretty......and original. Beautiful work!

[John Keeton]

Matt, great group of turnings and some beautiful cherry!! The 3rd and 4th would be my picks, but that first one sure is unique, too. I like 'em all.

[Robert McGowen]

Those are all nice, but I am going with the green inlay bowl as my favorite.

[Greg Just]

I love all of them. How did you blacken the wood on the last one? Did you carve the leaves after that? Thanks for sharing.

[Frank Van Atta]

Great work on the embellishments, especially the natural edge bowl with feet.

[David DeCristoforo]

Another vote for the inlaid bowl. But the NE is an adventure into the unusual. It looks like it would be at home in an exhibit of ancient Egyptian objects.

[Jim Burr]

Beautiful work Matt!! All are good, but the bowl is keeping my attention. I love stone inlay but struggle with where it's usable. You really brought that into focus on a great bowl. Thanks for posting!

[David E Keller]

Nicely done... I'm a big fan of the first one.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Really nice turnings. I like the first and especially the 3rd. Really well done.

[Steve Mawson]

Number 2 really caught my eye, so I guess that makes it my favorite. All nice pieces!!

[Kathy Marshall]

Those are all nice, but I am going with the green inlay bowl as my favorite.

Ditto!
Wish I had your creativity!

[Dale Bright]

Matt,

These are all very nicely done. I also like the photos and the way you added the text to each photo.

Matt, Looks like you had a lot of fun on these! Great creativity and you cant go wrong with cherry wood!

Nice work,

Jeff

[Dan Cannon]

These are all beautiful! Impressive stuff for sure. I have to put in another vote for the green inlay bowl though. My favorite embelishment and favorite form...Awesome bowls.

[bob svoboda]

All very nice-tough to pick a favorite, but the NE 'edges' the others out. Well done!

[Mark Hubl]

Nice stuff Matt. You have got some interesting stuff going on in that first one. It is an interesting piece for sure. The inlay bowl is a beauty, but that little forth piece with the leaves is my favorite. I like the shape and the colors together. Good job.

Greg, the band is bracketed by two burned lines done with a wire. The band was then painted with green acrylic paint and then I used a Ryobi carver to make the leaves.

Jim, I wish it were stone inlay, but in fact it's green glitter I picked up at Michael's. Just laid it in there and used thin CA. I can't take credit for the idea though. I stole the idea from one of the members of my turning club.
