Lee, for someone who just started, you seem to really have a talent for new and attractive pieces. That looks nice.

[Curt Fuller]

Cool! Sort of a 'Chang and Eng' thing. How'd you do it?

[Jim Becker]

Perfect for a double-dip of two flavors!! Really nice, Lee!

[Lee DeRaud]

Cool! Sort of a 'Chang and Eng' thing. How'd you do it?Put a piece of 8/4 walnut on top of a piece of 8/4 cherry with double-stick tape, bandsawed the sandwich, and epoxied the pieces together...and yes, that means I've still got another (mirror-image) blank. (The cherry was originally a little wider than the walnut, so some of it got glued on the opposite edge, seemed like a good idea at the time.)

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Hey Lee...........Now who's setting a torrid pace? Great bowl my friend! YOU have come a long ways in a short period of time!

[Vaughn McMillan]

Too bad you didn't have enough of one kind of wood to make a whole bowl. Good job on cobbling the pieces together, though. :p

Seriously, that's a great piece, Lee. I've done similar glue-ups for other projects, and I know it's harder than it looks. Are you going to turn an exact match, or try a different shape with the remaining half?

Also, I agree with Ken...slow down dude, you're making the rest of us newbs look bad. (Not as if that's too tough to do in my case.) ;)

Are you going to turn an exact match, or try a different shape with the remaining half?It would be a lot easier if I could con you into sending me any cutting board planks you're not happy with so I could make bowls or platters out of them.:D :D

The second one is somewhat different in that, due to a bit of a brain-fart during the initial cutting, the "extra" piece of cherry on the side is wider. So the "mirror-image" bowl will be about an inch bigger overall.

In any case, I don't do "sets", so I'll probably do a different profile on it anyway.:cool:

Thanks for the kind words, all.

[John Miliunas]

Dang it, Lee! You keep coming up with new and different twists on the spinny stuff! :) Nice job and I can't wait to see this one's brother!!! :) :D :cool:

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

I always liked "Twist" cones.

Another good un'

Looks great!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Lee what a job. I like it. Cool idea.

[Vaughn McMillan]

...In any case, I don't do "sets"...

I understand. I have a hard enough time making one of something, let alone two. :D

[Dick Parr]

Very nice Lee, the shape is really looking pleasant and I love the two woods.

Great job.

[Henry C. Gernhardt, III]

Lee, that's great. That's absolutely great. Your creativity in the medium astounds me!

[Tom Sherman]

Looking Good Lee, quite a nice bowl. I like the combination and form.

[Andy Hoyt]

Bandsaw?!?! I had the notion that your laserizer was involved. Very cool, indeed.

[Christopher K. Hartley]

Great job Lee, this is a Cool Bowl! You are the Glue Master!:D
