Nicely done Ken. I for one know how hard it is to get a good photo of walnut in a bowl. Love the finish. The purple is a nice touch too. Don't God do some amazing stuff with wood?
Tim we cut the tree 3 years ago, got it to a friends saw mill, and we have found some of the most amazing colors and grain patterns I could imagine. This is just a plain black walnut tree, from Tennessee it was a pretty good size tree, we harvested about 160 board feet from it.:biggrin:
Very nice grain in that piece of walnut. Good job on the turning and finish.
Keith, thanks, this turns so easy, I started turning it and left it a 1 inch thick, and was going to let it sit for a long time, BUT a show came up, and we needed stuff for the table,so I turned it down to about 3/8ths then sprayed it with Acrylic, after the show it went back on the lathe turned it down to between a 1/4 and the bottom is still about 3/8ths and did it all with my trusty Unitool, started putting Wipe on Poly and that's it. But now we have to figure out a way to get rid of a bunch of it.:frown: :highfive:
Beautiful bowl, Ken. The grain and finish is wonderful. The only thing I can think of that would make it even better is if the bowl were filled with fresh buttered hot popcorn.

Charles, Oddly enough I was think the same thing but I had a bunch of teeth pulled Wednesday so I couldn't eat any, but it would be nice chomping on some watching that young Manning boy Whup them Patriots hind ends!!:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
