So here's #8. This is the last of the walnut laminates from the leftover trim - I've now gotten brave enough to try some other pieces. It's 3 pieces of walnut, 9 ½” wide at top, 3 5/8” wide at bottom, 2 ½” tall, with an inlay of azurite. I haven't buffed it yet, because the finish hasn't cured.
C & c not only appreciated, but welcomed!

Really nice work!! I like the inlay, and that undercut on the rim is super nice. You are ready for some "real wood" for sure!! So, when are you getting the shipment from Mike Smith? He tells me he is down with pneumonia.

I got the shipment last week or the week before, I think. I asked him to send me an assortment, and he sure did! I was just working on some Mimosa - boy is that hard stuff!Originally Posted by John Keeton

That surprises me on the Mimosa. It is such a weak tree, I thought it would be a soft wood. I knew he had some, and said it should be some really interesting wood. Glad you are trying it out - we will need a report and some pics!
Keep up the nice work on the rim treatments - I really like all the different profiles!

Great piece Cathy. Love the rim and the inlay work.

Nice bowl. Where can you get the Azurite and how is it applied?

I got the Azurite from Arizona Silhouette: http://www.arizonasilhouette.com/
and it's applied like coffee grounds or any other inlay. I've used both superglue and epoxy. Here's a link on that - http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=137110
I've found that the "fine" texture works best for me, but YMMV.

Really nice looking bowl Cathy. I really like the inlay on it.

Nice bowl, Cathy. I like everything about it - the shape, the rim, and blue inlay goes very well with the walnut.
It’s only work if somebody makes you do it.

You asked for critiques, but I don't really have one. It is very well done.
