Turning in the shop

[Bernie Weishapl]

Well was puttering around the shop today and decided to turn a couple of things. I ended up doing 4. I made a saucer out of Elm for the wife. She wanted one to set a plant on. It is finished with just lacquer. I made a vase. It started out to be a small HF but ended up a open mouth vase. It is 4" tall and 2 1/2" across finished with EEE-Ultra shine and lacquer. I have got a lot to learn about HF. I also turned a poplar bowl that I dried with the DNA method. It came out real nice. I am trying Behlen Salad bowl finish on it. Then we are going to use it to see how it holds up. Only got pictures of it bottoms up since it is drying for 6 hrs. Also rough turned a cherry box. Got it in DNA now and will put it out to dry tomorrow. Anyway here they are.

Nice Job Bernie!
Great shape on the vase, and wow some nice curl!:eek:
Great looking bowl I see some curl in that too, nice job on the rim!

Bernie, those are just awesome! The more I look at these and the ones you sent me, I think the vase is my favorite! You did great on them all, I bet the bowl will be pretty great looking when finished. Keep up the great work buddy!

I don't know Bernie, your coming right along, they all look nice. I can see that new lathe sooner than you can.
I really like the little vase.

Boy Bernie...........You have come a long ways in a short period of time! Great projects!

[Ernie Nyvall]

Nice work Bernie. I like the rim on the bowl and that's a nice shape to the vase. Your elm saucer is really dark... looks almost like walnut.

That vase definitely has some curl. Nice piece of wood and nice job!
That bowl is gonna be a beaut. I love the brown streaks against the white background. Nice utilitarian bowl!:D

[John Hart]

Busy Day eh Bernie?:) Nice lookin' work! I like all of them. You're taking this vortex thing pretty seriously ain't cha?;) :)

[Keith Burns]

Nice pieces Bernie, you have come a long way in a short time:) :)

John those are made from the last box of wood. I definately appreciate. The vase is Curly Maple and the bowl poplar. I enjoyed turning this wood John. The Elm plant saucer is just a scrape I cut off a couple of weeks ago laying on the floor. It never cracked and was pretty dry so slapped it on and gave it a turn.

Thanks for the nice comments. I appreciate it.
