Turnings

[Bernie Weishapl]

Here are a couple of turnings from a small cherry log I had and a small oak log. The cherry are calabash style and are 5 1/2" X 2 1/4" with 3/8" walls and the Oak NE is 6 1/2" X 4" with 3/8" walls. All three have one coat of Antique Oil on them.

[David E Keller]

[Billy Tallant]

Great looking bowls, Bernie!

[Roger Chandler]

Really like those cherry calabash style.........very nice indeed! The oak NE is also nice........I would think keeping the bark intact with that one was a bit of a job. Good stuff Bernie!

[Scott Hackler]

Nice work Bernie. I love the thick bark on that NE!

[Mike Willeson]

Nice work Bernie....the cherry is beautiful!


All three have one coat of Antique Oil on them.


...just curious. How many coats of AO do you normally apply?

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks everyone. It was finely nice to get to do some turning.

Mike I usually put 3 coats on. Sometimes 4 on wood like oak.

[Toney Robertson]

Good looking pieces.

You did a great job of keeping the bark on that oak.

[Keith E Byrd]

Very nice! I like the NE on the oak. Gonna try that one of these days

[Michelle Rich]

super nice bowls, bernie...good to see a new post from you

[John Keeton]

Bernie, love that oak piece!!! Hard to beat cherry, too. Good work on all of them.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks again. John even though they were small pieces the cherry turned like butter. A real joy to turn.

[Rich Aldrich]

Bernie, nice work. Most of what I have turned so far is cherry. I like the bark on the NE.

[Bob Noles]

Most excellent work, as we have come to expect from you Bernie. Good to see you back home and in the shop.

[wes murphy]

Very nice bowls, but the natural edge always catches my eye.

[Richard Kennedy UK]

Nice work I like the NE piece but they all look great you did justice to the wood!

[Marc Himes]

Very nice turnings. I like the shape of the cherry pieces.

[David DeCristoforo]

The "calabash" is nice but the NE bowl is a knock out! Slam dunk! Over the fence! Beautiful bowl.

[Robert McGowen]

Nice work on all of them Bernie, but I am partial to the calabash style bowls. Looking good!

[charlie knighton]

very nice, Bernie, you did a good job on that oak

[Baxter Smith]

Nice job on all. I prefer the finish on these to the others you posted ( but you have to keep thecustomer happy)!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks again. Baxter these only have one coat on them. I will complete the finish when I get back on Monday. I will do a follow up post on them when completely done. I was just excited to be back in the shop for a week. I would still be there but we had a reunion on my wifes side. She hasn't seen her brothers since her sister died 4 yrs ago at 58.

[David Reed]

Very well done - that must have been somewhat of a challenge to keep the bark attached on the oak bowl. Like many here, I see this as the star.
