Moraine locust natural edge pix

[Joe Fisher]

Here's one I have had drying for a month or so. About 6 1/2" wide by 4" tall.

I'm not too sure about the form, but the wood sure is purdy!<img=http:><img=http:><img=http:><img=http:><img=http:><img=http:><img=http:>

Comments and constructive criticism are always welcome. Desconstructive criticism will be tolerated if it's witty!

Joe that is a very nice looking NE. Everything about is nice, you did a great job.:)

[Corey Hallagan]

Very nice natural edge bowl Joe. I like the contrast in the heartwood /sapwood and then the NE. Nice job.

Joe, I actually like this form better than the more typical "wide mouth" NE forms...'just a personal preference. That's a nice piece of wood, too. Great job!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Joe.........I like everything about it! Beautiful wood!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Joe it is a beauty. I like the form and finish.

[Barry Stratton]

I like it A LOT!!!! Beautiful how the grain spins down toward the center, just like an ABYSS. You should enter this in Raymond's "Au Naturele" contest.

Joe, I have had the pleasure of turning a good bit of honey locust, but never any moraine locust. I never heard of it, but now I know what it looks like and I sure do like it. This is not only beautiful wood, but the NE you turned from it is exceptional. I see a few light patches on the top of the bark rim. I see this on mine from time to time and I take a magic marker pen brown or whatever as close to the bark color as I can find and touch up the bark that has been scraped or discolored in someway. I do this right before I add my spray lacquer. You might want to try this.

[John Timberlake]

Love the wood. You did a great job of bringing out the best in the blank.

[Anthony Yakonick]

I have this deja vu thing going on right now;)

[Ernie Nyvall]

Joe, that's a really nice piece, and I like the form.

[Mark Cothren]

Nice NE, Joe! A great piece of wood!

[Jim Ketron]

Great Job Joe!
Beautiful wood!

[Christopher K. Hartley]

Joe great job! Looking down in that bowl makes you want to spin and get dizzy, that grain just sucks you in. Thanks for sharing!:)

[Andy Hoyt]

What's not to like?

Mostly that you did it and not me.

Well done.

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

Joe,

I have tried digilantly to come up with any constructive criticsm. Hope!

Tried to be DESTRUCTIVE while being witty! Failed again.

As a container for delicious, cold, wonderful ICE CREAM, it is a WINNER!

Keep up the good work!

Joe, from what I see, I can't fault the work. The form and finish are well-executed. You have a great balance of lustre and natural look to the wood.

[Joe Fisher]

You guys are way too kind ;)

I think the form is too tall for the width. It's got a sharp curve at the bottom followed by long, straight sides.

I don't think it's ugly, I just think it could be a lot better.

Joe that is a very nice NE at first glance I too thought it might be to tall but after some thought I don't think that way. I like it just like it is. I think it would look very nice in the center of a table with any number of things in it. Will leave contents up to you.
