Haven't been following this board closely in recent months but enjoyed catching up the last couple days. My perennial lament is that there's not as much posting of people's turnings here as there was years ago, so hoping to prompt some with this. Critiques are welcome, but the main reason for the post is to spur others to put some work up. I really enjoy seeing what other people are up to.
Those that know me know that my happy spot is just displaying pretty wood; my turnings are not technically challenging or involved, whether that's for lack of skill or just what interests me.
Set of nesting bowls -- small to large, bocote, black palm, and morado. The fisheye from the camera lens makes the side profiles look different, but they were pretty well matched. Was a little mad at myself for not realizing in time that the bocote blank was a little thicker than the others.

OK I did my part, now the rest of you post something!
