Here are the two that I have been working on this last week. The bowl is black ash and the HF is box elder with a purple heart collar. The HF has lots of knots and spalting and a pinkish blush in spots it is 8 3/4" tall. The bowlis 8 x 2 7/8". Both are finished with BLO and then Minwax Antique oil and buffed out.

There are many shapes to be tried but some are timeless........

Very nice work on both pieces Jeff! Good looking bowl and I really like the classic shape! Great hollow form - colors, form, collar and also all that curl! Nice work!

Great looking work!! I really like the purple heart collar on the HF. The colors are fantastic. I like the shape of the bowl too. Hope you don't mind if I try to copy the bowl. Thanks for posting them.

Eugene, It would be my pleasure to have you copy any turning I post. Every piece of wood makes each and every turning a one of a kind! Enjoy and thanks for the coments!

Steve, I love the lowly box elder tree, it has so much to offer, but it is considered a weed tree! I love SMC and all the wonderful people who inhabit its forums!

Thanks again,

Jeff
