Took a break from the candle holders to turn a few bowls, something I don't normally do, I am not a bowl turner. I think there is just too much emphasis on perfect shape, form, wall too thin, wall too thick, foot, no foot, lift, no lift. I much rather spend my time putting a piece of wood on the lathe, turn it round, hollow it out and it become just a bowl, nothing more, nothing less. So, with that being said, these are exactly that, just some bowls. The spalted Oak are 5 to 5 1/4" in dia. and 2 to 2/12" in height. The Walnut bowls are about the same and the larger bowl is 9 x 3". That wood was labeled Elm, but I had a couple of small pieces that looks the same that was labeled Box Elder, so not sure which it is, but I like the red flame in it. The finish is just friction finish using some of Ron's sanding paste.
