    Walnut from Modesto Bowl!

    I posted about getting this walnut a ways back. This bowl was mostly turned by Scott Coffelt at Terry Hatfield's shindig a few weekends ago. It has incredible figure.

    It was all finished up by Dennis Peacock and he just got it mailed out to me.

    Thanks a lot, Everyone...it is simply beautiful...what an amazing piece Mother Nature created!

    Walnut bowl

    Hey Chris,
    Maybe next time they will let you sharpen thier tools. Nice work. I live in Tracy and Walnut wood is used for fire wood. What a waste huh!

    Dick, pull some of the logs outa the cord and turn 'em! You might find a gem as I did!

    Hey, I just took some lessons in sharpening planes and chisels so I might be able to do a decent job sharpening now!

    Here are some pics from the BBQ showing the bowl being turned...these have been posted here before. The first is Scott shaping the outside and we have "Dr." Turner, Mr. Kevin Gertsenecker showing us a few things. We did have to administer some CA glue to fix some cracks that started showing up.

    I think He is going to sleep with it. Just like when a kid gets a new toy !!!

    The figure and finish are beautiful. Now I know why people get that spinny thing.

    Man, it looks even more beautiful finished then it did when it was being turned. The figure really pops out on it. Who would have thought a piece of firewood would have looked that nice.

    What's the wife think about it? Maybe she'll let you display it somewhere, besides the shop.

    She was quite impressed with the figure and movement...who wouldn't be??

    Since she saw the cube blank when I brought it with me, she had a lot more appreciation for what came out of it! I think it'll be a nice contrasting piece on the maple EC!

    Thanks, again, Scott & Dennis!

    Chris, that's awesome. Nice job by Scott and Dennis. Beautiful turning and beautiful chunk of walnut.

    This bowl has such awesome figure on all sides that I should probably put it on some kind of slowly rotating platform...slightly tipped over, too.
