What a great invention! I'm having so much fun! After the 'anniversary bowl' TLOML said I should make a bigger one for our oldest granddaughters wedding this summer. I said no problem - but I will need a bigger lathe!

:( Apparently I can only make 10" bowls (Delta LA200) as a bigger lathe is not allowed...

It's still fun.

Those are all really nice pieces. I really like the second and third bowl. Hey way to slip that hint in about a bigger lathe. Worked for me.:D:rolleyes:;)

All the pieces are great. Can you take a few pics of the back of the ear rings. I would like to make something simular but not sure how to mount the backing.

Keith, some neat work. I like the "vented" ring on the anniversary bowl - cool feature.

Donny, just used a stud blank with a flat plate and a dab of 5 minute epoxy. I can get pictures if I can pry them away from her!

I appreciate the variety there, Keith. If I had to pick a favorite, I'm really drawn to that last piece. Nice work on the whole bunch!
