My art shows start this weekend.
Piece sold yesterday when my very best customer surprised me with a stop by. Nobody else ever got to see it. (cept Diane my wife
He bought 7 pieces, a very good Wednesday, however Diane says I now need more pieces for this weekend(taking a break don't tell her).

Diane does everything except the woodturning, Makes my things look great at the shows, does taxes my websight Everything! but the turning.

Jerry,
I have yet to find other woods that buff out to such a pleasing finish as Honey Locust. Your customer gave you all the accolades you need. They bought it. Next time charge more:)

Jerry, congrats on the sales! Excellent work on the bowl. It appears to be an end grain turning except for the bark edge - is that the pith in the bottom? amazing that you don't have any cracks if it is!

Thanks Everyone. John that is not the main pith. I could not beleive that that branch went that far in. It was cut a little below a crotch. And I was disapointed at first, but it did not crack. The piece was absolutly stunning after buffing. Unfortunatly this is the only picture of it.
It was not the biggest NE that I have done but I think it was the Best (prettiest)
