I think I disagree with you if you think the bowl didn’t come out well. It looks good from here…the wood is beautiful.

Hey Gary
It all looks good to me well done good use of scrap wood

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

I thought the bowl was beautiful, as well!

another reason not to clean out the wood pile! Well done.

If you really don’t like that ugly bowl , send it my way and I’ll hide it on a shelf somewhere in my livingroom ….by the way , the background leaves really add to the photos : ) Great job !

Very nice! Great use of that spalted oak scrap. Beautifull pieces.

Keep it up.

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

I heard Dusty doesn’t have room for the bowl so send it my way!!! The wood and shape make it a great looking piece! Good job finding suitable projects for the “extra” pieces of wood you had laying around.

From the woman who won’t even throw away pieces of shim because “they might come in handy”... I love to see this kind of stuff. Great fodder for ideas.

Dusty and Bowyer neither one have a space for the bowl, so I’ll take it and display it myself…..........LOL

Some beautiful and wonderful pieces. Love them all and great use of scraps.

Gary, these are gorgeous projects. I love to see projects like this that are made from re-purposed wood.

Nice save!!

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Excellent use of scrap!

We try but are often just not disciplined enough or run out of time. I love to see cut-off’s and discards put to creative use. We burn what amounts to hundreds, thousands sometimes, worth of wood as we just run out of space to store it, and we never have time to make all those little boxes and small projects we constantly claim we’re going to use it for.

We use quite a bit for restoration work, but if we get into heavy commissions we end up with far more than we can use. If anyone is around NJ and wants buckets containing random small chunks and cut-offs of oak, walnut, cherry, mahogany, etc … whatever we happen to have leftover from projects let us know we’ll save you a can of it!

Thanks for all the comments. I almost didn’t post them because they were so mundane. I really will be glad when I have time to build something that really warrants posting on here. When I look at all the other projects, it makes me realize how far I have to go. Thanks again.
