Mother Nature Colored This Fiddle Maple#6

[Bob Bergstrom]

This piece only needed oil and lacquer to enhance what Mother Nature did to this golf course maple. This bowl is about 13" across and 3" deep. The brown and black are in the heart wood of this tree. My daughter has claimed this one. I had a little fun with my 3/8" spindle gouge on the bottom

You are coming up with some really nice pieces & the wood is amazing

[Roger Chandler]

Gotta love that! That's a beauty Bob!

By 3/8 spindle gouge, do you mean the detail pointy type for the rings? For sure, excellent colors.

It is a deep fluted 3/8" spindle gouge sharpen to a pointed long bevel. I have a Crown and Thompson, but they both turn similar. I also have a Thompson 3/8" detail gouge, but prefer the deeper flute.

Mother Nature did a good job coloring that one; and you did not a bad job with it yourself. Nice Piece.

Your daughter is lucky! Beautiful job on some beautiful wood.

You have made some masterpieces from this beautiful wood. I don't see how they could be any more beautiful. Isn't it a joy to find and work with magnificent wood like this?
