More Mesquite Bowls

[Kathy Marshall]

Turned the biggest one on Monday, the medium one on Tuesday and the smallest one (with the rim) today. This is the 1st time I've turned a bowl with a rim and I kinda like how it turned out.
The biggest is about 9" x 5" and the other 2 are both about 8" x 2 1/2" all have a walnut oil finish.

Very nice bowls! I especially like the turquoise in the mesquite and the warm finish. Thx for posting.

Those are some great looking bowls, the one with the turquoise is especially nice. I really love the shape of the deep one though. The mesquite sure is purdy. Your finish is perfect on it too, Michael nailed it with "warm".

Edited to add: The rim is perfect Kathy. It flows with the rest of the form.

Those are some great looking bowls Kathy, and that wood is beautiful! I have only done 3 bowls but I am thinking that some of what you sent me is going to go to a bowl.

[Michelle Rich]

all 3 are lovely & well turned. I like the 3 different shapes

[David DeCristoforo]

Nice bowls. Especially the big one which just screams "popcorn!!!" to me. The smaller ogee shape is very nice! I seem to recall a big chunk of this mesquite showing up here recently. Maybe with a bit of luck it will end up looking this good...

Nicely done, Kathy! I especially like that deep form, and I think turquoise and mesquite are a match made in Heaven. Do you use a steady rest when you turn these?

[Jon Nuckles]

They are all nice, Kathy, and I like the deep one the best. You sure go from cutting up blanks to finished bowls quickly!

Top shelf Kathy!

[Kathy Marshall]

Thanks everyone! It's nice to turn bowls that don't warp out of round before the hollowing is even half done.

Thanks David! No steady rest (I only have a spindle steady), but I don't get much chatter with mesquite especially since the walls on these aren't real thin.

Great bowls. Don't you just love turning mesquite?
