lol…that is a great story…that would make a funny video…you should PM trifern to make sure he hears your tale…either way—-the bowl turned out great…

Looks good, Mike.

Like Matt said… I’d love to see the video!

Video! Video! Video.

Where is it posted.

Ah the trials of woodworking.

First Larry, and now Joe. (If that was Moe then we’d be looking for Curly.)

You turners are a mystery to me…....but I like the bowl.

You should have made a picture with you eating something from the bowl, with all the dye all over you or some such. Like you intended it that way….....you know…....never tell everything…...................

It looks like a nice bowl. Can’t tell its profile (how deep it is) from this photo. But I like what I can see!

It seems like I can’t win. The bowl is about 4 inches deep. Actually I made it quite a while ago but thought it was so butt ugly I didn’t want to post it. Thanks for all your very generous comments. Bill, even with all the walnut in it it’s still white. I couldn’t make a video the spray was flying all over the shop, everything would have been a multi colored blur. Karson I have to much hair to be Curly, but some others on here don’t have quite so much that could fill in. Any takers???
Again thanks all.

Good job Mike. I think it turned out great. Like the others, I would love to see a video, but to be there would have been even better! Keep turning.

Hi Mike, I’ve been playing around with dyes lately (also LJ Trifern inspired), but not using the splatter method :-)

Your post reminds me of an old toy I had as a kid…maybe you are onto something if you can get it to work like this:

Too funny, I wish I could have been there to see the work in progress, but then I’d be spotted like a leopard! Nice results all the same.
