sycamore bowl

[Deane Allinson]

I had to work all day Saturday and thought that I wouldn't get to try out my new 1/2" gouge. It's nice to have a bigger one. Things go faster, I tried to turn something a little thinner. A critter hole showed up inside near the lip, and I was afraid to turn it out. A little bulge in the outside curve, again afraid to level out after I cleaned up a snag.
Sycamore about 7 1/4" wide and 2 3/4" tall.

That's a nice little bowl, and the form really highlights the spectacular medulary (sp?) rays inside the bowl.

Deane - looks pretty good to me! Didn't see any of the problem areas you mentioned!

[Nate Davey]

That is a nice looking bowl Deane and I like the mill stone it's sitting on too.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Really nice bowl Deane. Really well done and sure don't see a problem.

Nice looking bowl Deane. I like the different form and stand base. It looks like you are finding some "softer" material. Before long, you will have too much wood on hand.

[David E Keller]

i think it looks pretty good. Good curves and pretty wood... What's not to like?

[Baxter Smith]

Nice job Deane. A very pretty bowl!

I really like the lace pattern in sycamore grain...........glad you got to try out that new gouge!

[Richard Madden]

I like it. I love sycamore and you did this piece justice. Thanks for sharing.

Looks good Deane. The sycamore looks nice. I am going to have to stare some more to see the items you pointed out. Nice.

Deane, you gotta be enjoying that new gouge!! I suspect it makes turning a lot more enjoyable. Good work on this one! I like turning sycamore - turns and finishes easily. It also is prone to Ambrosia, and that makes for some very nice wood!
