In Honor of the Ice Cream Meister - Andy

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

After blowing up that wonderful piece of Spalted Walnut, I had to climb back aboard the Lathe. This was that effort. It is Ash with a little natural edge. 3-3/4" in diameter and 3" tall.The shape was to be a little like a large two handed coffee mug or Four scoop Ice cream bowl.

As always, comments welcomed. This is going to replace the blow-up at the silent auction for the blind this week.

Thanks for lookin'.

Bruce;)

[George Conklin]

[Corey Hallagan]

[Barry Stratton]

Nice job on some good looking wood.

[Ernie Nyvall]

Looks like a two handed malt to me. Nice job Bruce.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Nice job Bruce. Always nice to recover with something that good. Like the fit and finish Bruce.

[Andy Hoyt]

Nice one Bruce. Given that Ernie has identified it as a two handed malt/ice cream holder, I think that it's only fitting that the flavor of record is Chocolate Malted Rashpberry

[John Hart]

Nicely Done Bruce. Hey...I like that bottom! I want to put more detail into the foot m'self. Pretty little piece of wood.:)

[Keith Burns]

Nice one Bruce:) :) I think it would quilify for the Old Geezer's Goblet contest:D

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

Thanks folks. Kieth, I hadn't thought of that. What's more important, though, is that it does well and raises some money at the silent auction for the Blind People's Center.

Bruce,
I REALLY enjoy your work! Nice job. :) However, I feel very badly about losing Andy as your, "In Memory Of" post implies. We can only pray that we lost only the "less than human" sides of his many faces. :) He MUST have two or three GOOD sides to compensate for what we have been subjected to thus far. :rolleyes:

C'mon Andy! :) EVERYONE is supposed to have ONE good side - or TWO or THREE! :o Give us a peek! ;) We are all hoping for the best! ;) Please don't let us down!! :cool: :)

[Andy Hoyt]

Dale - Sorry. Gonna have to pass on your request.

Showing my "good" side violates just about every one of the TOS things. And it's just too plain scary to boot.

[Mark Cothren]

Nice work, Bruce. All you guys who are advertising these bowls as ice cream utensils need to show us one in action some day...:D

Nice bowl and thanks for the pictures!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Somebody find a bucket of water....I think we're going to have to douse Dale and Andy!:eek: :D

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

Make SURE it's

COLD


water!

Got the results back from the Paoriarea Blind Peoples Center Silent Auction.

Guess this is a bit of a gloat, but I am SHOCKED that a 3-3/4" X3" bowl would raise $201.00 in a silent auction!:eek:

I MAY have to raise my prices!:D

Seriously, though, I am VERRRRRRRRRRRRY happy it went for that much. The center has been having some theft lately and they need the help.

WOW! That's great Bruce! Congratulations!!:)

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Congrats Bruce!
