Looks nice. What kind of wood did you use and what are the dimensions?

I should know better than to not put in details. It's walnut with a wax finish and it's about 4.5" across. The intention was a salt pinch bowl for a foodie friend of mine.

It's beautiful. The walnut is gorgeous, great shapes and very smooth finish. Definitely your friend will like it. Great job!

Great turning Mark! I like your design and finished product very much!!! Small bowls like yours are VERY addictive and I'm also hooked!!! Walnut is such a nice wood to turn and I have several projects in progress at the moment using regular walnut and black (Caro Walnut Burl...) and love the way it turns and finishes. I'm sure your gift will be VERY appreciated and look forward to your future turnings! Thanks for sharing and safe turning to you and yours!

i thought i would throw out a little update as it came to me this week. i feel like this is a bump but it truly isn't. i gave this piece to a co-worker and fellow foodie and my bread baking guru. i was truly interested in what his wife thought but felt weird asking. well this week he came to me and said "did i tell you what tara thought of your turned bowl" to which i answered no. well turns out she absolutely loved it and wants to know what i would charge for these types of turnings because they attend many parties and dinners and are always bringing hostess and house warming gifts and thought these would be perfect. looks like i will be turning out some more pieces.
