Salad Bowl Set

[Jim King]

This project was done at the order of my wife to our young turner while I was out of the country. The center large bowl is Orange Agate, and starting with the Bloodwood and going counter clockwise the small bowls are Bloodwood, Purpleheart, Orange Agate, Pink Flame, Dalmation, Tigre Caspi, Black Tahauri, Orange Agate Type II, Black Pashaca.

There are actually three more but they did not fit into the photo well.

Very nice set, Jim. You have some lovely woods, and you and your staff do some awesome work.

Great looking set and my compliments to the turner! Well done! :) If I may ask, what kind (if any) of finish do you folks use for daily-use bowls like that? :) :cool:

[Bernie Weishapl]

Beautiful job. Congrats to the turner. I was going to ask the same question John. What finish do you use on these types of bowls?

[Tom Sherman]

awsome salad setting Jim. Nice to come home to such suprises huh?

[Mark Cothren]

Pretty cool, Jim! What a variety!

[Dennis Peacock]

Very nice Jim!!!!! Pretty stuff.

But, let me ask you this. Ya'll got any roads that lead up to your place now? I read on your site where you live and is the largest city in the world that doesn't have a single road leading to it. :eek:

The finish we use on the salad bowls is floor polyurethane . We also use it on wine glasses . I dont see much difference between a plastic container for food or a plastic finish for wood. <O:p</O:p
Personally I don´t think we will never have a road leaving here. The last road built goes nowhere into the jungle for 60 miles<ST1:METRICCONVERTER w:st="[/IMG]60" st1:metricconverter miles<> and took 50 years to complete. Tens of millions of dollars were spent on the road with at least 80% of it stolen by public officials. The jail is full of Generals and politicians who stole the money and were not smart enough to share some with the judges. This place does not work like Des Moine.
