SPALTED ELM BOWL

[Mac]

This one was fun, cause I finally can get past end grain tearout I hope. Thanks to my new big hog dog scraper. For you bowl turners I took a before and after of the bottom. Bowl turners always look at the bottom.

That looks great. Thanks for showing the pic of the bottom. I really like what you did with it.

MAC ... Very interesting bowl and very nicely turned. And, yes, you are correct in that finishing the bottom does make for a more interesting turning and just about always make folks ask as to how you made the item. BTW, nice set of Cole Jaws.

Also, I was/am unable to open the last photograph of your finished bowl.

Thanks, I don't have a clue why it won't open. However I went to photos and it opened.

I'm not sure what I'm more jealous of; your turning or the HUGE rack of turning tools in the background! Very nice bowl.

You know, after I posted these pictures, I was wondering, if anybody would notice anything. Hate to dissapoint on the tools but most are HF their best set, 5 or 6 homemade and a few good ones. Three of which Santa brought me.
