best 50$ I ever spent...

[Russell Eaton]

This is a spalted ambrosia maple burl bowl that I returned last night. It is about 15" wide and 6" deep. I bought the log from another turner and he saw the rough out and was not happy that he sold it. It has a lot of figure and a couple of decent size voids. I have one more piece roughed out of this log, and may return it tonight. It has walnut oil finish and MAY get buffed. I also turned this goblet out of a off cut from the same piece of wood.Comments are welcome. Russell

Man that stuff is beautiful. Very nice work on the pieces. Couple of voids? You give me someting to shoot for on my next bowl and I gotta make one of those goblets someday.

Thats is awesome looking wood! I like the natural voids it gives pieces so much character. Good job on the captured rings on the goblet.
Well done!

I wouldn't try eating your cereal out of that bowl though ... at least not with milk on it! :wink:

The beauty of the wood is exceeded only by what you did with it! Extraordinary.

Don't give this to the preacher and ask him to use it for the offering plate.

That's the ONLY person I can think of that wouldn't love that bowl!

 

[nava1uni]

Lovely, just lovely. Nice work, as usual.
