Beautiful bowl Lee! My pace is fixing to slow down..I've got to get the shop finished......so I can build a real bench for the lathe of course!:D

What's the finish on you bow?

[Frank Chaffee]

Wow Lee,
The laminations really add to an already appealing form.
You are truly a spinner now!

Wonderful piece Lee!:)

What's the finish on you bowl?Thin coat of GF Seal-A-Cell, buffed out on the Beale-clone. (Still need a set of the inside puffs...:()

[Christopher K. Hartley]

Too Cool! I love what you've done here!

[Corey Hallagan]

John, all these guys are pretty damn good! I don't know, I think they are all a bunch of liars and have been turning for several years. Well, at least that is how I explain my work to my wife and family :) BTW John, if your inept, then there is just no hope for me. You do awesome work man!

All right that's enough for now. Take a nap, a beer and call for some help cutting the grass:)

GREAT BOWL Lee. I think there's a bunch of folks trying to keep up with you.......

[Paul Douglass]

Lee, that is a beautiful bowl. The two woods really compliment each other. I an getting to be a real oak fan got turning. Is it really that hard to turn? I bought a bunch of oak at an estate sale. $2 a board foot. One board is 2" thick, 12" wide and 10' long. Must weight 40 lbs. I made a morris chair and foot stool maybe I will have to glue some up and try turning it.

[Jim Becker]

Nice job, Lee. For a "second", that's pretty special, both because of the construction and because of the nice curved form. The tendency for most beginning turners is more "flat bottomed" vessels...which is not bad, but frankly is actually harder to turn. A nice flowing curve like you did is easier to do 'cause you don't have to deal with an abrupt corner!

[Ernie Nyvall]

You should make a set of those Lee. Really nice.

I think I'm with John and Corey on this one - all you "new" turners just keep setting the bar higher and higher . . .

*sigh*

Someday, I'll have a bowl to show off . . . maybe . . . if I can keep it on the lathe long enough to finish it. :(
