Mike - that bowl has a little bit of everything in it! Beautiful piece, great looking wood - lots of character! Love the little worm holes! Thanks for sharing!

Very nice looking piece, and very professional looking photography to boot.

[Greg Just]

Very nice - as usual. How did you manage to turn the foot and such an odd shape? Thanks for sharing

[Robert McGowen]

Pretty cool form. Hope you still have all of your knuckles after that one!

[Tom Keen]

Very Nice!! I really like the way you used the natural form of the wood.For the life of me, I dont understand why some folks dont like working with oak. I think the color, grain and texture are beautiful.



Thanks for sharing

Tom, you are a man after my own heart! I love the smell of oak ,the grain and all the different colors within! I have a couple of oak burls just waiting for me to tear into one is red oak and the other is white oak. I turned a piece that was in the firewood pile the other day and it is drying a bit so I can finisn turning it. I love the cracks and little holes. Keep up the good work. I finished a metal stand for my new mini steel city lathe so tomorrow I can put it to work! Here is a picture of one of my favorite oak vases.
