I had been dealing with the mid-winter funk till yesterday. I went out to the shop to start on a "mystery" piece that will take a while to get finished.
I worked on it again today, and on this curly ambrosia maple bowl.
Things look brighter now.

George,
Looks GREAT. Nice shape and thickness. You did not give dimensions, but it looks light and delicate to hold. Great use of the wood.

George,
Great looking bowl. Nice form and finish. I totally understand the "Funk". Kind of been there myself lately. Winters seems to be lasting a long time this year. lets hope for an early spring.

Wow! Talk about a 3-D effect! Very nice bowl! Love the way it grabs the light!
Hope this means you are going to get started turning again - always enjoy your work!

Beautiful wood!!! Nice bowl, and hopefully the start of new energy for you. Winter is about the only time I get shop time in. Spring brings lots of other things going on, then summer mowing and chores, then deer season.... Dang, its already winter again!!

George.....you may have taken a break from turning but you sure didn't lose any skills! Gorgeous piece on a classic form that allows the wood to be the star of the show! Nicely done sir!

Another lovely piece helps de-funk the turner. It's a beauty George.

George,
I don't know if that bowl got you out of your funk or not, but it is sure helping mine! Beautiful to say the least.
