I bet he didn’t carve the pear with a pocket knife? LOL Beautiful work, makes me want to go out in my unheated shop and sand fast enough to stay warm. But, I’ll sit here where it’s warm, drink my coffee and plan which equipment I am going to move into my heated shop to work with today. I’ve got a couple of gunstock blanks to glue up and while the glue is drying, I’m going to get a few pear slabs ready to make into tables and benches.

Fantastic shaping Pete. You really know how to accentuate the beauty in a piece of wood. Great work.

Very nice bowls Pete, the foot print reminds me I have six months till summer in the northern regions.
I do like the face cut bowls with the natural edge.

Thanks for sharing!

-- Chuck Emery, Michigan,

Thanks all for your kind comments.
Kelly & Hal, no they aren’t carved, they are turned, in fact I got a bit carried away with the blackwood piece and went a bit thin, if you hold it to the light it is sort of transparent in the bottom
Merry Christmas all

Pete,

That’s some incredible turning. It really shows off the beautiful wood.

Wow, Pete you leave a comment on my duck calls in regards to their craftsmanship…let me just say it is not comparable to yours so obviously displayed here in this bowl.

“What a piece?” Intriguing piece. Great job my man! You mush have a rather large swing over your lathe bed or either you are working off of a swiveling headstock?

Either way, you have certainly got the process mastered.
