latest turning...

[Russell Eaton]

I have a good supply of ambrosia maple and have been roughing a lot out. I finally got a little free time to finish turn and this is the results. It is 11 1/2" wide and right at 6" tall. I was inspired by Michael Gibson after a visit to him and his wife. He had a LARGE maple bowl he had turned some time back in his personal collection. This was twice turned, first was about 3-4 months ago, and finished turned on the 4th of July. It has been so hot I framed a 12' x 16' room in my shop and put a window unit in it. It stays nice enough to turn in during the brutal heat. The bowl is Ambrosia Maple and is finished with walnut oil. Comments are welcome, good or bad. Thanks Russell

Beautiful - there is a lot going on in that piece of wood. Well done.

Very nice looking bowl and the wood is beautiful. A bowl blank that size in ambrosia maple will cost me $30 to $40. I wish I had a supply!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Great piece. Wood is beautiful.

[David DeCristoforo]

Beautiful bowl and hands down the most amazing piece of AM I have ever seen!

[Mike Peace]

Very nice bowl. I especially like the rim treatment, Russell. I also like the beaded utility bowls Mike turns green. He is a wizard the way he can turn those beads so effortlessly.

I doubt I have ever seen ambrosia this heavily marked..wow that would look good on a shelf or table.

[Bill Hensley]

You did a great piece of wood justice! Very nice.

[Steve Busey]

Great looking bowl, Russell! I have a piece of ambrosia maple John Keeton gave me - I may have to mount that up and see if I an keep up with you. :)
