I have not done much turning in the past few weeks, and a few of my buddies was kinda giving me a hard time. Out of all the winged bowls that have been posted in the past few days, I slipped up and showed them a winged bowl rough out thats been setting around the shop for about 7-8 months. They gave me a 2 week time limit to get it posted, so here it is.

Hard Maple Limb Burl it measures 12" X 8 1/4" 2 1/2" deep. The finish is Rocklers wipe on gel poly and buffed.

This is such a spectacular piece, Jim. I said that when you showed me the pictures in chat and I'll say it again. It almost has the Yin-Yang look to it because of the color variation. This could sell for a good price, Jimbo! Very, very nice!:D

Well, I'm glad the challenge/deadline was issued! I think it's a great piece of wood and you massaged a great turning out of it!

Thanks for the picture!

Oh maaaaaannnnn....I give up! I think I'm just going to sell off my lathe equipment and, when not doing flat work, take up stamp collecting or knitting or maybe just paint my WW shop...with an artist brush!:o That's more than just exquisite, Jim! You're bringing the "winged" thing to a new level and, one which I can't even dream of accomplishing!:D Just gorgeous, my friend! Like Travis said, let's see what other jewels you're hiding over there! (Just to convince me of my decision!:D ):) :cool:
