Finally made something...

[Larry Marley]

For a couple years I have heard through the grape vine that my uncle wished he had a "Marleyturned" bowl.
So, in between several trips the last couple months I have been working on a gift bowl for him. It is Titled "Terry's Bowl".
My wife doesn't want to part with it, Hope he feels the same way too.

[Rasmus Petersen]

Stunning i understand why the wife doesn't want to part with it

[Jon Lanier]

Wow, that is a bowl to be cherished for years and then into the next generations.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Beautiful piece Larry! Wife....uncle.....Wife....uncle......tough decision!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Larry - very impressive form! Beautiful design, colors and finish! Your Uncle will love it! I also like your photography - great use of light! Thanks for posting!

[David Newson]

Larry , As others have said before, its an impressive piece design and colours.

I wish I had the patience to do a segmented piece!

Beautiful Larry. He is going to treasure that one.

Thanks for the nice comments.

Steve,
here is a pic of the Original photo, BEFORE photoshop made it look perdy.

[Richard Madison]

Larry,
Great bowl, good picture, and of your photo setup. See, Steve, did not have to pester Larry for photo setup.

Larry, Steve sent me this link to some cool backdrop material, modestly priced, especially for the smaller sizes, http://www.phototechinc.com/graduate.htm (http://www.phototechinc.com/graduate.htm).

But what kind of lights are those on the sides?

[Robert McGowen]

There sure are a lot of little pieces in that feature ring! Very nice job. I have enjoyed looking at your website several times.

[Dennis Puskar]

Very nice work would like to have your plans.

[Larry Marley]

Richard,
that set up is "photo studio in a box" got it at walmart. came with the two lights and a small tripod. I thought I spent about $45 for it. (I may be in denial)
they have one for $78 on their web site. looks like a better tripod..?
the background is reversible, blue or gray. I Like the idea of a varitone background. this booth is best for smaller pieces.

Dennis, I can get you the plans, such as they are. They will give segment dimensions but no detail on the feature ring. That's what Malcolm's book is for.... There are some photos showing some of the steps on my website in the "news and current events" section.

I am on another Larry across America tour this week. I will try to remember this weekend to convert them.

[Dennis Puskar]

Thanks Larry looks like I will be buying Malcoms book.
