3 sided bowls and variations

[John Taylor]

HI
These are some of my first attempts at 3 cornered bowls, as such they aren't up to gallery standards but I thought you might like to see them anyway. :)
They are all made from splatted beech, which is not the best wood to use for this, and finished with shellack sanding sealer and wax polish.
4 1/4" across points 2 1/2" tall

Very nice John, they would look cool on some neo-modern office shelf and would make super gifts filled with one's favorite chocolate,thanks for the look see for sure.:D

I really like the shape of them, esp. the first one.
I'd like to try one of them, I recently made a 3 cornered dish (?).

Very unique pieces John and when it comes to turning - unique is good!
