Winged Maple bowl

[Travis Stinson]

I really liked Jim Ketron's winged Maple bowl he posted a while back, so when we swapped some wood, he sent my a slab from a limb burl to try. I finished this a while back but just got around to taking some pics. I got a little too carried away and got it offset too far, so you have to set it in your lap to keep the ice cream from falling out:( . 13" across by 3" deep, gel poly finish.

Wow, that looks great Travis. Very nice job.

[Bernie Weishapl]

That is awesome Travis. You did some great work on that one. Nice finish.

[Raymond Overman]

That's an awesome piece Travis. Well done.

[Curt Fuller]

Wow! Now that's purty!

[Mike Vickery]

Beautiful work!

[John Hart]

Another beauty Travis! Ya know, as a lap-bowl, it also provides a place for a bowl of sprinkles and hot fudge so you can keep loading up the ice cream.;)
It's a wonderful piece!:)

[Michael Stafford]

Travis, a lovely piece. Me, I would keep the cookies on the wing. I don't care for the sprinkles. I sure would like to see you guys turn one of these winged beauties just for the learning experience. Nice work!!!!:D

[Keith Burns]

I assume you still have all of your knuckles? Another winner for sure, great piece:) Personally I would keep the chocolate syrup on the wing:D

[Dennis Peacock]

I assume you still have all of your knuckles? Another winner for sure, great piece:)

I was going to ask the same exact question Keith!!! Great minds think alike.:rolleyes: :D

Very nice Travis. Can you also turn a sows ear into a sild purse? Bet ya could.:D

[Mark Cothren]

Did that thing sound like a helicopter while it was spinnin'???!!! :eek:

Very nice work! Kinda reminds me of a comet with a trailing tail...:cool:

Thanks for the pictures!

[Andy Hoyt]

Nice one, Travis.

Guys, Newton's laws of gravity combined with Einstein's theory of relativity and as modified for icecreamology by Prof. Hoyt stipulates that all excess syrup (defined as all syrup not in the shipping container, still in the bowl, or somewhere within your digestive system) will be found on:
Your chin
Your shirt
Your new carpet

[Ernie Nyvall]

Travis..... real nice, but I disagree with the others. A good homemade hot sauce with chips on the flat.:)

It is a real beauty.

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

Very nice Travis. Since you like to "Grab a fistfull of throttle and Dump the clutch", you need to make a floor/ lap jack to steady it.

[Rich Stewart]

Beautiful job. I really like that.

[Mike Ramsey]

I don't usually care for winged bowls, BUT this one I really like!!
Great job Travis!!

[John Hart]

If you wore it on your head, would it look like one of those Long Billed Fishing hats? Remove the ice cream or salsa first.;)

[Jim Becker]

Very nice, Travis! Definitely a good think to "know where your fingers are" with that one on the lathe!!

[Jim Ketron]

Looks Great Travis!
Got to love the curl in that, looks like marble.
Nice piece Bud!

[Travis Stinson]

Thanks everyone. Jim, Thanks again for the wood.:cool:

[Chris Barton]

What a beautiful bowl. I would use the wing to support a nice hot espresso to go along with the Rocky Road!

[Corey Hallagan]

Wow, that is really something! Never seen anything like it before. Very cool.

[Jim Dunn]

Pretty bowl Travis! Definately like the style, and the choice of wood.

[Pat Salter]

What a beautiful bowl. I would use the wing to support a nice hot espresso to go along with the Rocky Road!

I was thinking more in the line of cookies! You can set your coffee cup anywhere in the shop (and I do!) but you don't always have a place for your cookies....I'm thinking.....oatmeal cookies with butter pecan ice cream......
mmmmmmmm....

oh, BTW, I like the bowl, cookie holder and all!
