this bowl is my new favorite of yours. this one the curve is so perfect, it looks like it was and egg or a turtle shell broken right in half. amazing work

Mike....that is absolutely stunning! The colors...the wood...the form....the finish......You have certainly been busy and doing a lot of great turning lately! Nicely done Sir!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Wow - now that's nice! Beautiful wood, form and finish! The inked rim sure works well at providing a contrast with all the lighter colors! Curtis hit it - reminds me of a eggshell of some type - very organic feel to it! Seriously looking forward to what you will be posting next!

Dang , I like Box Elder. but even better is the turning. Thanks for the chance to see how it should be done.

Wow Mike that is beautiful. The wood, form and finish are great. I like the inked edge.

[Leo Van Der Loo]

Sure did a bangup job on this one Mike, WOW nice wood and form :D.

[Jim Becker]

Neat little piece! It's nice to see the color so distributed through the material on this one, Mike. Great choice for the form in that respect. Nice.......

[Keith Burns]

Mike, this is a winner for sure. Love the form.

[Matt Hutchinson]

Nice work! I am jealous....seriously.

I tried to complete a NE box elder bowl for the show, but I kept getting too much tearout on the endgrain of the 'wings'. You seem to have a good handle on how to prevent this, and the result is beautiful. Keep up the great work!

Mike, that is a VERY nice bowl - the form, natural color, the ink you added and finish you applied - something to be very proud of. Mike
