Spalted Sycamore & Burr Elm Bowls.

[kkwall]

Hi All,


Just started turning bowls recently, but am starting to enjoy it a lot.


Here are two of the bowls I have turned.


Was lucky to have such nice pieces of wood from my supplier.

Must have been fun doing 2 completely different woods and shapes. They look great!

Thanks everyone.[]

I have a long way to go! I want to start doing some longer vases, and perhaps some hollow forms.[]


Need to get a good chuck with spriget jaws though! Perhaps Santa will be good to me.[]


Only thing is Santa probably doesn't know how much they cost.[]

Haven't tried bowls yet. Looking at those makes me want to give it a shot.

I like the first one a lot, very nicely done.

Hi Kenny,
I like the Burr Elm.. Nice shape and design.. the sycamore is okay too, but my favorite is the Elm.. I cut an elm behind my shop last fall... can't wait to start turning some of the bigger pieces.. as soon as the rain lets up, I want to cut some blanks and start them to dry for turning.. Turning bowls was the reason I wanted to start working with a lathe, I just started with pens and got hooked there for a while.. finally turned a bowl last summer and hooked there too.

Keep up the good work.

Hi Chuck,


Glad to hear that you like the elm bowl.


It does grip hold of you this woodturning. I notice that I am spending less time making pens, and more on bowls and other items.


I just love working with wood, and provided that you enjoy what you are doing, I dont expect it matters what you are doing!


Cheers,
Kenny
