Walnut Bowl- Crotch Wood

[Gary Garmar]

I don't usually post my turnings but I felt this piece needed to be shared. My neighbor and I run a mill in the fall and winter to cut lumber for the local high school wood shop. I got this piece from my neighbor to make a gunstock but it checked to much for that purpose, so I turned a bowl. It is 9" at the rim and 2.5" tall. The rim is only 3/32" but tapers to approx 3/8" at the bottom. It was turned green and has 'moved' a little since the finish was applied. All comments welcome. I appoligize for the poor pics.

There is a tutorial on how to add pictures at the top of the Support Forum here at SMC.

Fantastic. That is one of the nicest pieces of walnut crotch wood I have seen. Your design seems to really set it off well.
