First Bowl of Frankie

[Bob Hallowell]

This is the first bowl to come off my new lathe and boy do I like Frankie.

This is a walnut ne measuring in at 11"x6 1/2", buffed antique oil. I took Travis idea's and chiseled out 3 feet. I normally do not name my peices but for some reason nuclear comes to mind with this peice;) anyone fiure out why. As alwys critiques are welcome.

Great piece and I do like the feet. The nice thing is that you can experiment on that idea over and over again as you do more pieces. And there is nothing more stable than a three-foot foot!

[Keith Burns]

Bob, congrats on an excellent NE !! Great form and I like the feet as well.

[Gary Herrmann]

Very nice, Bob. I also like the foot (feet?) a lot.

[Dick Parr]

Very nice NE Bob and I agree the foot adds to it. :)

[Mike A. Smith]

Wow! That's all just, "Wow!".

[Steve Schlumpf]
