Looks good, real artsie!

[Alex Elias]

I like it. I like the proportions and the effect. Very nice work

[David Fried]

That looks great!

Somehow the idea of taking a torch to something I've worked hard on is a bit scary. How hard is it to get the hang of torching stuff?

[John Hart]

Beauty under the damage. Very nice.

Wood has to be dry to torch, or it will cause checking. You can use green wood, but you have to be careful and go slow. The heat causes it to dry out and ck. I like the bowl.

[Christopher K. Hartley]

[Bernie Weishapl]
