Redheart Bowl

[Lee DeRaud]

This is that blank I got from Barry Stratton last month (thanks again, by the way!)...
5"x2", or as Andy puts it, "ice-cream-sized" (at least for people with my waistline):

Very nice work Lee. Great form and finish.

That's a nice looking bowl, Lee. What kind of wood is that? It looks a bit like walnut to me.

You may slap your forehead now.:p

[Keith Burns]

Great bowl Lee, great form !! :) :) You're definately gettin' around:D

[John Hart]

Wow Lee...Redheart? It has that deep rich color of Bloodwood...Just beautiful. I like the form and thickness too. Very nice.:)

[Dick Parr]

Wow Lee, that is beautiful. That is a great piece of wood and I like the shape.

Great Job!

Wow Lee...Redheart? It has that deep rich color of Bloodwood...Just beautiful. I like the form and thickness too. Very nice.:)For all I know, redheart and bloodwood are the same thing, although the figure on the piece of bloodwood I have is not as pronounced. The dust when it's sawn sure looks the same though.:p

[Mark Cothren]

Excellent Lee! Very nice wood there and a nice bowl you turned out of it.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Beautiful bowl Lee. Looks like about a 4 dipper to me.

[Dennis Peacock]

OOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! Me likey mucho, mucho!!!!!!:D :cool: :cool:

[Christopher K. Hartley]

Great work Lee. Very rich looking.

[Corey Hallagan]

Woaahhh... that is nice Lee. That color is beautiful. Does redheart stay red or does it turn brown after awhile. Nice job Lee, it looks great!

[Raymond Overman]

That's purty Lee. Good job.

[Barry Stratton]

WOW, Lee - that came out PERFECT!!!! Well done, sir. Very well done.

Redheart is one of my favorites, cuts easy, polishes easy, seems to stay red, even makes good pens (do you agree Bernie?;) ) Bloodwood on the other hand, scrolls like a rock and burns real easy.... They are different species. I can't find the "site" but I think is it hibdonhardwoods.com that has great info on different wood types.

[Corey Hallagan]

Gonna hafta get some redwood for sure! Thanks Barry!

Corey

[Jim Ketron]

Beautiful job and wood Lee!

[Frank Chaffee]

Wow Lee,
While your finely engineered boxes and laser engravings, given your background, came as no surprise, your robust entrance to the stage of accomplished turners is most definitely worthy of notice and accolades!

Now you, too are starting to scare me!:cool:

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Lee..........as Frank pointed out......Your progress in the turning world has been tremendous! Very, very nice bowl!

[John Timberlake]

Gorgeous wood and really nice job on the form and finish.

[Dick Strauss]

Nice one Lee! I bought a few blanks recently that are about the same size. I'll have to keep your form in mind when I decide what to do with mine.

Keep 'em Coming/Get 'er Done

Wow Lee that looks great, Now you only need about seven more and that would make a nice anniversary gift to the misses.;)
