Nice work Bob, it seems that the "urge| gottcha pretty bad, huh...???:wink:

Greta looking bowls, I can see that the Olive wood is very green, where do you source it from, is it local to you...??? the blanks would weigh a lot to be sent by mail...!

Don'r forget to show us when they are all done...!

Nice pile of shavings!!!

How long before your final turning?

Bagging them, or other drying procedure? Just comparing process.

I have 4 bagged for 9 months (spalted maple). You have excellent style to get the shapes in a nice uniform design - before final turning! NICE!

Thanks! For drying, I just bag them is shavings. Nothing on the end grain, no anchor seal, no nothing. Haven't had cracking issues at all. We'll see how that works out for the Olivewood. I hear its prone to cracking when drying. If it does, oh well, on to the next one.
