White Oak NE

[Alex Cam]

Let there be power sanding!

Lots of firsts on this one. First NE, first green-to-finished bowl in one sitting, first time power sanding, and first time turning oak. The oak turned like butter and the power sanding was great. I lost a little bark here and there, but nothing too bad. 7.5 x 3.5 inches, sanded to 600, finished with antique oil and beall buffed. Comments and critiques welcome!

Very pretty bowl Alex! Great form, color and finish! If this is your first - I can't wait to see your second! Very nice work!

[Ernie Nyvall]

Wow, all your firsts turned out a fine looking bowl.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Alex for all those first it sure did turn out of a nice bowl. Well done.

[Mike A. Smith]

Really, really nice Alex. I've got some white oak seasoning under the workbench; hope it turns out that nice!

[Curt Fuller]

Wow, what a beauty! I personally really like the looks of oak bowls and that one is very nice.

[Glenn Hodges]

Alex, your form on this one is excellent, and I like it.

I just took a look at the pictures and realized I had the aperture opened up too far for a nice, deep field of focus. Maybe my wife is on to something when she tells me I'm not perfect.. Nah!

Alex.........Very nice first NE...or 10th NE! I always hold my breath when turning NEs...."will the bark stay on?"

Nicely done!

Great looking piece. Makes me almost want to turn the oak I have sitting in log form. well ok maybe I am still contemplating burning it instead. (bad experiance last time I worked with oak)

[Paul Engle]

Nice piece Alex, next time make a note to watch your dof wouldn't want you falling in .......:eek: :D

[Mike Vickery]

Great looking piece. I love how the growth rings are centered in the bowl.
