9" Cherry Bowl with Beaded Rim and Foot.

[Bob Bergstrom]

This was a piece that was cored from a lager blank that had a large feathered crotch. Not much in this one other that the knot somehow did not crack. I beaded the rim and the foot with a 3/8" spindle gouge. Finish is 3 coats of Forby's Tung Oil. It will be used as a salad bowl.

Well done, Bob!! I like the detailing on the foot (also like the foot!!) and the rim. Hard to beat cherry for a beautiful piece.

Very nice Bowl, Bob. Good job with the detailing, nice shape and beautiful wood.

I have to agree...very nice piece of cherry here. Almost too good to eat out of. : )

The beads around the rim really make it stand out. Good work!

[David E Keller]

That's a beauty! I love the details at the rim and foot.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Pretty bowl! Beautiful Cherry and I was amazed to see that neither of the knots had checks! Must be a sign...

Nice work! Looking forward to seeing what's next!

[Keith E Byrd]

Great bowls and love the bead work - Thanks for posting!

[Donny Lawson]

The details add a nice touch to this piece. Cherry is a nice wood to turn.

[Michelle Rich]

I like this a whole bunch. Beautiful cleanly turned useful bowl. Your details are sharp! I don't believe I have seen rim beads on the inside of a bowl very often..I like that. A#1!

[Prashun Patel]

Really elegant. I aspire to that kind of delicate foot and precise beading. Beautiful

[Curt Fuller]

You've really been making some beautiful bowls. The detail on the rim and foot really makes them nice.

That's a beautiful bowl, Bob. Thanks for posting.

Wow- beautiful job. I love cherry. The beaded rim is nicely done but in my opinion not needed as the shape and wood itself is awesome.

Beauty!!! Very nice. Although, I think that, instead of filling it with leaves and vinegar....perhaps a gallon of Pralines and Cream with Chocolate syrup....a half a can of Redi-Whip...two great big spoons....a fun movie.....oh..and cherries....don't forget the cherries!!

[Tim Thiebaut]

This is very nicely done Bob, that is one fine looking bowl right there!

[Jon Nuckles]

Really nice, Bob, and you must have a magic touch to dry that without cracks. Way to go!

[Dave Carey]

Classic! love the form and the wood.

[Richard Jones]

Thanks to all. Your comments are greatly appreciated. The many positive words from the fellow turners here at Sawmill are very nice to hear, but there are so many wonderful turnings I just am glad to be a participant in a great forum

[Larry Marley]

Bob, I like the foot detail, very nice work.
