Greetings,

Well, it's not been ALL work on the computer desk.;) I do have to take time out from flat work to do a little round once in a while to help keep me sane and settled. :D

So here's my latest. Persimmon bowl made from a 1" thick board

5-1/2" across by 3/4" tall
Finish is simple Tung Oil and buffed with wax

BTW, the curl in this was a total surprise. :eek: :D

Sweet!

Nice work Bernie........... ah, I mean Dennis......... ;)

Just think of the large banana split that would fit on that :D

The curl, while a surprise, is surely a welcome one!

Cheers!

Well, Dennis, that is spectacular. Why didn't it make it to the Instant Gallery at Knoxville? Sure would have liked to have seen it in person.....:D
