Burls and Spalted Cherry Bowls

[Hilel Salomon]

Hi Folks,

Most of what I do on this forum is ask questions. I will finally include some pictures of bowls I've made with your kind understanding that I am still a very mediocre turner. I do churn them out as gifts to my grandkids, family and friends. The fact is that I love working on the lathe. It's medicinal for me. I welcome criticism and advice. The second bowl is not finished, but I'm headed up to VA, where uploading pics is impossible. There I'll finish the Cherry.
Regards, Hilel

Hilel those are beauties and the wood is beautiful. Well done.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Hilel - love the complex woods and the simple bowl forms! Very nice work! Should make for wonderful gifts!

[Ben Gastfriend]

Some really nice bowls, they really show off that wood well. Awsome job.

[Glenn Hodges]

Woods like these are not easy to find nor finish. You did a wonderful job.

[Skip Spaulding]

Sure look good! Bet the Kids and Grandkids love them.

Well, I'm up in the beautiful mountains and my oh so slow internet is up as well. Had my skin toughened up w/ca glue and lo and behold you folks decided to be generous and kind. I've seen what most of you make and I know that my stuff is very, very, very inferior, but I was touched by your kind words. Thank you all.
I'm now almost certain to drive out to Richmond for the AAW and hope to see many of you there.
Thanks, Hilel

That's a real stunning piece of wood which compliments the chosen bowl design.
