Sorry to disappoint you. I'm not Bernie either.

But Great bowls. I love the figure in the first bowl and the third especially, but all are fine examples of work. I would be proud to display things like that as my firsts! Absolutely inspiring!

Well Skip I am Bernie and I like all of them. I really like the 2nd and 3rd one. You did a good job on them Skip. The first has some nice figure to it. Almost reminds me of ambrosia maple. Skip you did a mighty fine job.

I agree with those above. All are beautiful. I realy like the grain pattern on the first, but I particularly like the "dancer" bowl because the posting of examples like this just seem to demonstrate an ever-expanding opportunity to create something beautiful and different. Thanks for the pictures.

I'm not Bernie, and I'm not the guy sitting next to Bernie, and I'm not the guy sitting next to the guy sitting next to Bernie. But those are all four nice bowls!

Thanks for all the + feedback. 1st and 3rd pics are the same bowl turned about 180. I still don't have the attachment thing perfect. I have been trying photo improvement from suggestions from last picture post. Lots of great info and help on this site! Thanks

"Trying"??? These are great, Skip! Hard to pick a favorite. I especially like the form on the 3rd from the left. Very classic shape!
