I turned a Real Bowl.......and others

This is one good looking bowl!!!!!!!!!

-- The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep...

All really nice turns Scrappy. I loved that mesquite. I read somewhere that it is a very stable wood too. My favorite design wise was the upside down hat (or trumpet if you will). The art piece was good too. I don’t think the size is important for the LJers’ because you can’t tell the size without a reference. It’s all about the shape anyway, no matter what the size. I like that you are turning lots of different designs.

Really very beautiful bowl. Even if you say it is a marble bowl, I have no doubt about it.
Great turning works!

One real nice bowl and the other turnings are great too.. I agree the shop is therapy for me too..

Nice turning! Therapy is a good word for it; I get into a “zone” when turning, it’s very relaxing.

Nice cereal bowl buddy!
The rest is really cool looking too.
I want to make a whole set when I get my lathe.

The guys from Public Works by me just cut a bunch of trees down and it got snapped up by turners right away.

Shop time is the best time, even if it is just cleaning up or hanging out.

Beautiful forms Scrappy. Nice finial on that one bowl and the form is nice on the bowl they really complement each other. Nice work.

Nice turnings Scrappy. Turning is very theraputic for me too. Size is not important. Some of the finest turnings I have seen have been small. I would wager your wife loves her new cereal bowl.

Mesquite is one of my favorite to turn, green or dry. It is very stable.

Those are some nice looking pieces Scrappy.

I am sure your wife loves the bowl you made for her.

Thanks for all the great comments everyone!

Stefang, Thank You, I do like to let my imagination run wild when I am trying to come up with a design. Must of the time I just turn and see what comes out. haha

Roper, Thank You, Lots of good info on that site for turners. Am still exploring it.

Woodwrecker, Thank You, Can’t wait for you to get your lathe. By time you get it, you will be soo jazzed up you won’t know what to do first. haha

Thanks again everyone. I do have to add that even though my stuff is small, I wouldn’t call it easier to do. Getting inside these little buggers is a pain! haha Still, all in all, it is very relaxing to turn. Also I can cheat a little on the finials. I have a Dremel model 700 Micro mini lathe.( 1 1/2×6 capacity) It is VERY handy for those tiny jobs.

Very nice samples of your work. I like your signature branding as well : )

Thanks ToyGuy. Not too much stress, but it sure is nice to relax after work.

Dusty, That is a rubber stamp I had made by SuothWest Rubber Stamps
