I got stoned

[laurie sullivan]

I haven't posted here at "other things" before, bowls were before pens for me and after a low pen sale the season, I've decided to go back to bowls. the medium is soapstone. about 4x5 with a base of walnut. I needed to purchase a vacuum chuck which worked wonderfully. so I've been stoned and will do it again.

what do you think?

Laurie,

It's not the "stoned" I expected from a California Lady.

Beautiful work, the bowl seems to have a light of its own!!

Very nice Laurie!!

I wonder if you have any plans to apply your scrimshaw talent to a stone bowl??[^]

 

[fiferb]

Beautiful work! I wonder what it would have looked like with a walnut rim as well?

 

[ahoiberg]

that's really cool. how does that stuff turn?

 

[DozerMite]

That's real nice. Good work.

 

[GaryMGg]

Beautiful; looks kinda like Jade.

thanks everyone, lets see if i can answer all the questions.....

William, (stoned, I wish) those were the good ole' days. but now I'm a AARP card carrying member.

Randy, (Scrimshaw)you know even I was thinking the same thing. not sure yet. but you'll be the first to know. maybe a dragon.

as for the walnut on the rim, I felt this piece was too wide for a wood rim.

and this turns like green wood. I had a rooster tail of white dust shooting over my right elbow most of the time.[8D]

thanks again,

Laurie
