OK, unless I really start to scrounge up stuff to make into bowls, I'm going to have to find some more wood :eek:
I just took the last three green blanks out of the DNA bath.....
44392
There they are drying somewhat before I wrap them with brown paper. The left one is the largest I've yet done, it just fit into the DNA bucket!! The right one is the chunk of Mesquite I got from Tom Jones in the blank exchange and the middle one is just another chuck of soon to be concrete hard red Keyaki:rolleyes:

and a bottom view
44394
Here is the Spalted Blue Keyaki, I have a deeper one that is the mate of this one, my wife wants a bowl set, I hope to be able to make the two into something that matches.

and another, it was still a bit wet with DNA here, but boy I have to say I'm liking it, and is it ever nice to turn compared to the freaking Keyaki I've had as a steady diet, this stuff is soft and turns like butter, so nice, I can't wait to get this one done!
Thanks Tom!!
Cheers!
