Beautiful Bowl/Terrible Pic
This is my first off my new Grizzly G0800 Beast. Black Walnut - 10" diameter.
I had a very unfortunate issue with the pictures. I used my Nikon DSLR-3100 and my PC did not recognize the SD card! I tried going to Sandisk site to get drivers, etc fixed, but to no avail! This is the same card I have used in the past successfully to post pics both here and on other forums.
Ended up using my cell phone, and the photo background reflected off the very refined finish so badly that it just made the pic very poor. I had even taken the time to set up my photo lights, etc. Even my FastStone software could not do much to help it, other than crop and resize.
This did not start out to be a calabash form, but because I ran into a rotten area at what is the rim, then I had to cut that away, so it naturally began to shape up to be a calabash bowl.
I was really hoping to show this one off in its best light, but you know the old saying ..."the best laid plans of mice and men..." Hopefully at least, you can get the general idea.
BTW, that Grizzly G0800 beast is quite the machine!
