Can you tell my rough outs are drying out?????

First is a spalted/almost punky oak bowl, about 4" X 3". Playing around with different shapes, I think I like this one but let me know what you think. Finished with lacquer.

The little cup/thingy is walnut - it doesn't show in the pictures but the curl is amazing. I was attempting (poorly) to copy Big Mike's ort bowl non hollow form things. Obviously I was going by memory and not a photo as it ain't even close:o .....

Slowly learning that I need to take my time sanding. Not that I'm actually taking my time, but I'm slowly figuring out that I should:D

Looking good, Barry. The form on the oak piece is quite nifty. I, too, wish the curl in the walnut had shown better---I'm sure the curl is very well set off by the form.

Nice job Barry. Some colorfull wood! I really like that little bowl and it looks like it has alot of figure in it. Keep them coming. Looks like a nice block of walnut sitting there too! :)

Nice work Barry! You have started to get the hang of everything!

Hey buddy that bowl is a mighty fine looking bowl. I like the cup to. The second picture you can see some curl in the walnut. Nice job. Keep'em coming.

I found out the same thing you are Barry. Slow down and use light pressure. I remember the first time I sanded the first bowl my finger would get hot. Wow. I found light pressure and take it slow works a lot better.

Nice work, Barry! The curl shows up on the Walnut, but I'm sure it's better in person. The Oak looks good, too.

[Rich Stewart]

Real nice looking bowl. The oak is looking better and better to me. I like that cup too. Walnut is a favorite of mine. Good job.
