    The maple sure has a nice clean grain and some beautiful curl going on, but I love the knotty walnut and the way it warped!! That rim style sure works with the end result. Neat!

    Beautiful bowls... I think perhaps the birch is my favorite.

    Very nice looking bowls.

    I like that each bowl is simple but yet beautiful.

    All are very nice Leo, but that "paper birch" really catches my eye.

    Once again - very nice work Leo! All of these are winners! Really like the simple forms - and your limited use of detail lines! Just enough to draw the eye - not enough to take away from the form!

    Really like the form and wood grain of the Paper Birch! Just something about it catches my attention!

    Thanks for sharing!

    Really nice bowls Leo, what did you use to darken the lines in the top of the rim?

    They say money does not grow on trees! I believe it takes a wood turner to reveal the hidden natural treasures in a tree.

    I love the knotty walnut. Irregular and a nice "curve" to the top. Really like that one.

    Thanks John , you know I got the same response here from Anny, she likes that crooked Walnut best out of these last turnings

    Thanks Skip, yes that birch really surprised me when I cut it up, it's got a lot of character, it was the biggest Paper Birch stump I'd ever seen, I'm glad I got it, still quite a few pieces waiting to be finished eventually
