Black Walnut Bowl

[Mark Cothren]

10" wide... 3-1/2" tall... 1/8" wall thickness... Sanded thru 600 and buffed a Watco finish on it. Decided to burn a little hat (rim) band on it just to change the look up a bit.

Opinions, criticisms, feedback, suggestions, etc all welcome.

That's quite pretty, Mark. I like the classic form---if it's a user, its a perfect shape for tossed salads or buttered popcorn. I don't think you can improve much on that shape. The rim work sets the piece off very nicely.

[Dennis Peacock]

Beautiful work there Mark!!!! The rim detail looks really nice.

[Travis Stinson]

Great job Mark. Very cool rim detail. 1/8" walls!!! Bet that baby is light!:eek: :D

[Corey Hallagan]

[Cecil Arnold]

Everything works well in the form and design. I really like it.

[Tom Sherman]

Mark that is one nice Walnut bowl, I like the burn in.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Very, very nice Mark! I really like the rim embellishment!

[Barry Stratton]

Beauty Mark! The rim treatment makes a great bowl "greater".

[Horst Hohoff]

Hi Mark,
There's nothing to criticise on this bowl; except perhaps that I'd like to see a few more pics from different angles. Well done!

[Keith Burns]

Thats another great one Mark. Like the rim treatment as well:) :) I'm with horst, need more pics.

[Mark Cothren]

Hmmm, with the new pics, I think I have reconsidered, I like the bowl more than I thought. Very, very nice!:D

[John Miliunas]

Nothing more to add after what's already been said! Beautiful shape, finish and I really like the rim treatment. :) As always, great job, Mark! :) :cool:

[Bernie Weishapl]

Awesome Mark. You did justice to that walnut. Beautiful.

[Curt Fuller]

That's a real beauty Mark. I like the branded band too. I can't believe Andy hasn't marked that one for some 'Burnt Walnut Fudge' yet.

[Andy Hoyt]

Sorry, Curt. I only do that for bowls turned by guys I like.

Oops. I've been thinking all along this was a Mike Stafford bowl.:D

Hey Mark way to go, bud! Looks just right for some Black Walnut Fudge.

[David Foshee]

Very Nice I really like the rim what did you use a Chatter tool, carving ?

[Mark Cothren]

Hey David, I used a burning pen that Travis Stinson built for me (you guys notice a recurring theme here? :D )

[Christopher K. Hartley]

And again, you knocked another out of the park! Great Job!:)
