My internet connection seemed liked it was working pretty good this morning so I thought I would post this walnut bowl I would think of as a fruit bowl. Turned from an approximately 2-3/4x13 dried blank, two applications of danish oil.

C&C always welcome.

Hayes, I like Black Walnut and I think your fruit bowl is great. I'm sort of new at this round stuff, so I hope you don't mind if I copy your form on some old dry 12/4 walnut I have out in the barn.

Great looking bowl Hayes. Pretty wood and simple lines(though they are not always that simple to make and do it well) make the best looking bowls. Someone will always have a place for this one!

I love yr form. I find it a challenge to get the balance between lift, shoulder size, and return at the top. All 3 feel right to me here. I think you should change the 'simple' in yr title to 'elegant'. The best kind of work.

Looks very nice, simple but still elegant. I have a piece of maple about that size that I may use this as inspiration for.

I'm with Mark .........simple yet elegant! Very clean lines and a nice finish...........Hayes..........it is hard to get better than that! Someone will find this one very useful and enjoyable to use!

Thanks for the kind words. It's so true that simple isn't always so simple. I think it is human nature to complicate things and I'm usually guilty of that.
