heres some recent work for the gallery. the bowls are spaulted locust, they were from the same peice of wood, but not cored, it just looks that way.
the box is spaulted bradford pear. much nicer to work with than dry nonspaulted bradford pear

Congratulations on your gallery showings and sales, Curtis. That's awesome.

Those pieces above are pretty nice, too. The wood is spectacular.

I don't want this to sound snotty but "spalted" does not have a "U". If you are listing wood descriptions with the gallery pieces, you want to get the spelling right.

Curtis, a big congrats on the sales. Couple of nice looking bowls, too. What are the dimensions? The pen in the pic is a good comparison, but hard to get an idea of the height on the box. Do you find the smaller pieces sell better?

Cody, thanks. i miss spell similar words often. before i print out any descriptions for my work, i always spell check and have someone else proof read them so it makes sense.

i wanna say the box is about 8-10 inches high but i dont have a ruler with me right now.

so far at the gallery i have sold one bowl and two boxes. all were under $30. im keeping prices low to sell more until i become more ""well known: and can raise prices. but i can only make up to a 9 inch peice on my current lathe as i dont have my "beast" up and running yet.
