Utility: The basis of all woodworking

Just beautiful workmanship Steven.

That bowl would function as a strainer – albeit a slow working one. Beauty and utility restored!

I like the “have to” comment at the end. My sentiments exactly. – well not mine, but the ones I feel compelled to labor under! ;)

Looks pretty good for popcorn too…:)

Nice work Steven.

Nice work.

you put a lot of thought into your work… a bowl is not “Justa” bowl.

Beautiful pieces

Nice bowl forms – what are their respective sizes? What kind of lathe do you turn on?

I’d like to see the whole table if you’re up for posting it! And, what kind of wood did you use for the table?

Dorje-

The smaller little ash bowl is about 5” across and 2” high. The other one is probably 7”x5”.

The table is hard maple, and needs to be refinished badly. crayons, markers and kids scratching their forks for no good reason for the last 9 years… has taken it’s toll.

Useless? Where do you think I drop spare screws when working with them? In my “bad” bowls. I probably use the bad ones more than I use the “good” ones!
