Two new box elder bowls

[Patrick Taylor]

Here are two box elder bowls I finished on Tuesday. The first (with the lines) is 7" across, and the second is 8".

On the bottom of the one with the lines you can see a slight blue stain. That's where I had marked the tenon (date, species) with blue sharpie after rough turning. If I'm going to DNA I wait until after, but in this case I did first, then decided later to DNA the blank. Well... The DNA helped the blue marker bleed in THROUGH the entire tenon thickness and it left this stain. :mad: Lesson learned: DON'T sharpie your blanks until AFTER the DNA. :o

I don't want to send it out of the house with the stain, so SWMBO is happy because she likes it and will just leave it right-side-up. :)

Pat,

Not sure what you may have done differently in your posting of your pics but I can't see them. Just see four red "X"'s.

Otherwise they look great:rolleyes:

You have a couple of very nice bowls Patrick! I like the forms and finish on both and specially the detail lines on the first bowl! Really like the clean lines of the shape! Very nice work!

They were on flickr, but I've uploaded them to SMC instead. Hope that helps.

I like them both. The blue stain isn't very noticeable and doesn't detract from the nice turning job :)
