Splated Water Oak triangle rimmed bowl

[Tim Brooks]

I found myself with only a little while to get something chucked up and turned before I turned in for the night tonight. Here is what I came up with. I must confess this addiction isn't going to be a good thing for me in so many different ways!! :rolleyes: It is kinda like smoking (I've never smoked but I'm told it to be the case). Once you’re addicted you will forgo all other things/responsibilities for a smoke. I am finding this to be the case for my lathe and me.

This is so much fun!

Let me know what you think.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Tim....You are smoking! That is nice!.....Yup...you are addicted!

[Mike Peace]

Wow, totally awesome and an inspiration to a newbie. How long have you been turning?

[Bill Bolen]

Now that is art! Fingers all still attached? Really pretty...Bill...

[Alex Elias]

I really like what you've done with that piece of wood.
Justice was served

[Tim Brooks]

Thank you all. This is my 3rd bowl but I have been turning pens for a little better than a year. And yes, I do still have all of my fingers. I must admit, however, they are a little sore. They took a beating with this one. I did sustain one cut but that was from my scraper. I was checking the sharpness of the edge and well it was sharper than I thought. :D

There was bark on the flat side but it flew off sometime during the shaping process.

3rd bowl?????????? Nice job on a spectacular bowl.

You have an artists eye and the piece shows it. Glad you showed it to us. :)

Tim that is a great looking bowl. Love the wood. You have more courage than I would have doing a winged bowl on my third try. Well done.

[Quinn McCarthy]

That is cool Tim.

I really like it.

WOW... that is really a work of art... and I imagine things can get "exciting" real quick with those wings spinning around... I haven't gotten up the nerve to try one of those yet... still working on getting a good "normal" bowl :)

[Mike A. Smith]

3rd bowl? 3rd bowl?? I officially hate you!:rolleyes:

Very very nice Tim!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Very nice work Tim! Great shape and beautiful color! If this is your third - can't wait to see some more of your work!

[Jim Becker]

Very nice piece, Tim.

[Tom Sherman]

A challenging piece Tim and you handled it well.

[Anchor Sarslow]

Ummm... Did this by chance start out as a 4 winged bowl?

[Bill Wyko]

Very nice. Great piece of wood as well.

[Ron Erickson]

I don't care how many bowl you have made, I really like this one.

[Tim Brooks]

Ummm... Did this by chance start out as a 4 winged bowl?

No actually the flat side was once covered with bark. It flew off as I was roughing it out.

It was my intention that my second bowl be a 4 winged bowl but I kept getting tear-out on the top side of the end grain sides (I hope that makes sense). I ended up turning a regular round bowl. Here is a picture of it in the event you didn't see it the first time I posted it.

I am impressed, as always. Remember me when you need a guinea pig.:p

[Dale Gregory]

Wow, I don't know if I'm still ready for a bowl/design like this and I've been turning for about 1 yr. Great job, beautiful form, great piece of wood. You should be very proud of this one.
