Ambrosia Maple Bowl

[Steve Ash]

I've been away from the lathe for a few weeks on vacation and other responsibilities, I had to make a run to Woodcraft last Friday and was looking over their bowl blanks. I saw one that was Ambrosia Maple and just knew I had to turn it into a bowl.

Of course as soon as I brought it into the house it was "confiscated" into the wifes collection....as I always say, "happy wife....happy life"

Thanks for looking.

Love that AM, Steve! And if you're wife loves it then there's no need for us to tell you it's a great bowl! Nice work...

[John Timberlake]

Nice job. Good form with a just enough detail to make it interesting without detracting from the figure in the wood.

[Corey Hallagan]

Nice looking bowl Steve! I like the shape and ambrosia is always cool!

If the wife likes it well that's about all that counts. That is one nice bowl Steve. Love the ambrosia. Nice job and keep'em coming.

Truer words never spoken. The wood and work is awsome.

[John Miliunas]

Well come on, guys... He had to do something nice for Judy after she bailed him out of the slammer for that contraband charge he was hauled off on!!! :D You done good, my friend! I'll bet she has that sitting in a very obvious place...Maybe even putting loose change and such in there, "just in case there's a next time"!!!:eek: :D Nice job, Steve!:) :cool:

[Steve Ash]

[Andy Hoyt]

Hey Steve!

Just like in the Graduate when Dustin Hoffman was told the "one word' - plastics.

I got one for you - upgrade:D

[Tom Sherman]

Steve I have always been told that when you give someone a gift for holding money you are supposed to 'seed' said gift. Go ahead and put some cash in there and watch it grow.:D

[Frank Chaffee]

Hey Steve,
Nice work, the bowl looks great!

Okay, let me clarify something... I bought this lathe for my son...it is and always will be his. However he has no support tools yet...i.e. grinder, drill press, bandsaw, etc. so when he says he wants it at his place, I'll be more than happy to help him load it. But as he said..."Can I just leave it here and use your other tools?...it also gives me a real good reason to hang out in the shop if it is at your shop"....so until he is ready for it I'll keep it here and surely be more than happy to use it.....when it leaves my shop

Then I'll upgrade!
