My knuckle buster

[David Wilhelm]

I saw a picture of something like this and figured I'd give it a try. Not my favorite turning but one that has sold faster than most.

[John Bartley]

Very nice!! I'll bet you took care to be VERY aware of where your hands and tools were eh?

cheers

David - nice bowl - I like it! Really good looking wood, great finish and the photos are really nice as well!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Great looking bowl and some great looking wood.

[Greg Cuetara]

Nice Bowl. What type of wood is that? It has a lot of character and really makes the piece stand out.

That is nice. I bet that was hard to make the square was hard to make look even through out.

Greg,
I got two of these blocks at Woodcraft for like a 1.50 each. They were in a huge shipping box and just marked spalted maple. I was thinking about cutting them up for pen blanks but never used them. Have you got your pen yet?

[Doug Miller]

Wonderful piece. I kind of like turning these. I get some strange sounds coming off those corners as they spin. Two suggestions for you. 1) Try to make the curve above the square match the curve below so that it looks like the bowl is stuck in this square piece of wood. 2) Bill grumbine even suggests that you make the square part the same thickness as the bowl itself. These two idea may make the next one even more valuable and pleasing to the eye. Sure wish you knew what the wood is. It is great looking stuff.

Very nice, David. Thats some nice wood. You do have to be very careful though.

Nice bowl

Look forward to seeing the next one

[Tim A. Mitchell]

Looks good. Appears to me to be Ambrosia Maple, based on some of the streaks.

[Brad Hammond]

that makes my toes draw up just thinking about how many times i'd get crammed on that thing! great job!

[Bill Bolen]

Been hankering to do one of those myself. You did a beautiful job...Bill...
