I actually finished something

[Robert Mickley]

When John and John where here the other day We got into a discusion on sanding, which resulted in me getting at the lathe and mounting up this walnut bowl which needed sanding. Well since it was all ready chucked up and I all ready had most of the 80 grit gouge work done I finished it off a little bit ago

Walnut, with some sapwood in it. BLO, carnuba wax finish. 10.25 X 3.75

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Really nice bowl! I like everything about it!

[Glenn Hodges]

The placement of the contrasting sap and heart wood makes this form really look good.

[Jim Dunn]

Nice bowl Robert. Does the sap wood turn like the rest of the walnut?

[Robert Mickley]

thanks guys!

Jim, it turns about the same, maybe a little softer and it doesn't seam to tearout as much

[Bernie Weishapl]

Beautiful bowl Robert. I really am beginning to like the sap one contrasting with the dark wood. Great job.

[Christopher K. Hartley]

Nice Walnut bowl, Robert! That's some great wood!

Thanks for the pictures!

[John Timberlake]

Very nice, Robert. Love the shape and the grain contrast. One down and how many to go?

[David Fried]

Very nice - we'll have to send John down more often to crack the whip!
Like everyone else I like the color change between the heart and sap wood. It gives the bowl some real depth. Great job.
