Brown Mallee Bowl

[broitblat]

I finally had a chance to spend a little time in the shop over the holidays. None of the pens I turned out add much to the conversation, but I'm pretty happy with this bowl.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Barry, that is a beautiful bowl. How did you turn it being so uneven? I like the art effect of the bowl. Nice piece.

That is AWESOME, Barry. Thank you for showing, and isn't it great when you make something that you are REALLY happy with.

Cheers
Bob.

Great looking piece. What size is it? I wonder how it would look if you carved the round foot into three small feet?

Nice Job Barry...!

They are also called and most appropriately, "fingers eaters...!":biggrin:

Who said that, wood turnings had to be round...???:wink:

Well done.

Cheers

Thanks for the comments, everyone.

Light cuts (and keeping my hands away from the spinning edges) :wink:

Thanks.

Thanks, Bob.

I think we're our own worse critics. I know I tend to see the flaws more than things I like in my own work.

Thanks, Keith.

The piece is about 8 1/2" long and 1 3/4" high.

I've never done much carving, but I may have to give something like that a try (I'll probably practice on some other pieces first, though).

Where's your spirit of adventure????

I also would have a bit of a practice, and NOT on a wonderful piece like this one.
I bought a piece of Mallee Burl in August last year, you have inspired me to do something with it now.

Superb! I love the natural edge to the bowl. What a nice piece of wood and an excellent job of turning.
