cherry HF

[Bernie Weishapl]

Well here is a scrap piece of cherry I was going to throw in what I call the bone pile. Then I decided to pull it out and see what I could do. Had no idea till I turned the lathe on. It is a little HF which is 6 1/2" tall and 3 1/2" across. Walls are 1/8". It is lacquer finish and buffed. The LOML already has dried flowers in it.

I think that is super. I like the shape - you done good.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Now that's pretty! Don't just love cherry? Great form, finish and color!

Only 9 months!? :eek: I figured you had been turning a lot longer than that just by looking at what you've posted.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks everyone. Yep it is one and the same. The old Kansas boy who turn his first bowl (and I had to go look) in Feb of 2006. So next month a year. I appreciate all the kind words.

Yep Dennis my 2 best pieces I have turned came from the pile headed for the neighbors firewood pile.
