Mother's Day Gifts

[Gordon Vizecky]

Three elm utility bowls for the moms and two small ash bowls for the grandmas.

Finished with beeswax and walnut oil.

The small ash bowl on the right looked great as it came off the lathe but showed a small line of bruised grain when I oiled it.

The large elm bowl on the right shows a ring (looks like torn grain) on the bottom in the picture that isn't there in real life.

The small bowls are still a bit shiny from the walnut oil.

Not totally satisfied with the big bowls, as I think the walls could have been a hair thinner (hindsight and self doubt).

Comments and critiques welcome.

Nice looking batch of bowls, and I really like the color of the elm.

[David E Keller]

Nicely done on all counts... I think the thicknesses look fine.

[Dan Forman]

A fine group of bowls, bet the recipients will be thrilled.

I think they are very nice utility bowls and I love the grain patterns, I think you're being too hard on yourself, these are for use not to set on a shelf in a gallery.

Gordon those are some nice bowls. I think the thickness is fine. I like them the way they are.
