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.
Beauties again Leo.

All excellent works Leo. I really like the walnut and how it warped on ya.

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?

When all is said and done--more is usually said than done.
Beautiful pieces Leo. Boy oh boy that Walnut made up its own mind on a finished form didn't it...Bill...
Very beautiful!!!

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 David, oh I don't know how that happened David, didn't even try
Thanks John , you know I got the same response here from Anny, she likes that crooked Walnut best out of these last turnings
Thanks David , that Birch is quite good looking, I find as well
Thank you for commenting Doug, I appreciate it
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
Thanks Bernie , we just keep on turning
Have fun and take care
