4"x2", walls 1/8" down to the bottom of the jarrah ring, tapering out to about 1/4" on the bottom.

Very pretty. I like the form---it looks like a rotation of a perfect hyperbola.]

[Ken Fitzgerald]

You've got that Rikon cooking Lee! Very nice!

[Frank Chaffee]

That’s beautiful Lee!
The slightly darker lamination brings me back to recognizing the circularity on the horizontal cutting plane, while the grain on the upper and lower parts suggest curves (conic sections), that are both tighter and flatter than the bowl sides. So essentially, a very broad range of curvatures are expressed in a single work.

You've got that Rikon cooking Lee! Very nice!(checks garage) Nope, still white: it's a Jet.:p

Thanks anyway, though.:D

[John Miliunas]

Very nice, Lee! I'm thinkin' you're catching on to this "spinny thing" quite nicely! :) BTW, the finish looks excellent on it, as well. Care to share your finishing regime? :) :cool:

[Keith Burns]

Nicely done Lee:) :)

[Lee DeRaud]

Care to share your finishing regime? :) :cool:With this wood, it's almost like cheating, the stuff almost finishes itself.

Sand (on the lathe) to 320 dry, then with 600 wet using mineral spirits. Once off the lathe, wipe on a thick coat of GF SealACell, rub it in, wipe it off, repeat. Buffed out with tripoli and then with carnuba wax. That's it.

[Corey Hallagan]

Nice work Lee and a beautiful piece!

[Chris DiCiaccio]

That is a great looking bowl. I really like that.

[Jim Ketron]

Nice form Lee!
Great Job!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

(checks garage) Nope, still white: it's a Jet.:p

Thanks anyway, though.:D

Ooops! That makes us Jet Bros! Sorry!

[John Hart]

That finish is surprising Lee. I would have never thought you could get a gloss like that with the procedure you used. I really like your choice of woods too. Very complimentary. :)

[Jim Dunn]

Jarrah/Jatoba?? Me thinks that your tag line should read Anaheim, Africa 000001. Nice looking piece Lee. Your inate talent is showing. Put your hat back on.

[Ernie Nyvall]

Wow, what a finish Lee. Nice work on the form.

Ok...maybe not.:oGiven my brute-force turning technique, something from Nine-Inch Nails would probably be more appropriate.:D :eek:
