Nice work. Is that an inlay in the rim of a mesquite bowl?

[Brian Kent]

That's some fine turning, Byron. How did you make the line on the rim?

luv the first one

Nice! My favorite is the Spalted silver maple. The wood is really wonderful, and I love the form. I'm glad to see there are others out there who like their bowls tall.

Dennis, I used a parting tool to cut a grouve 3/16" deep and filled it with black epoxy and brass filings.

Prashun, As you can see somewhat there are a lot of worm holes filled wiyh epoxy. I have several pieces of this but some too far gone.
Real nice spalting, hated not to do something with it.

Brian, I made it with a 1/8" parting tool. I also have 13" bowl cut from the stump o this tree. I will post it when i finish it.

[Harry Robinette]

Very pretty pieces. Nice work.

Great looking bowls. I do like that rim with the black epoxy and brass.

[Kathy Marshall]
