Crotch bowl from firewood (2)

I do not do turning because I would not be good at it. I do admire the people and their work. This is a nice piece and you have good vision for seeing something in a piece of firewood.

Nice job, always great to view these “natures rescue” pieces :)

very cool. I love the design of it, seeing the bowl emerge from the log.

That looks like a very challenging piece to turn!! You really nailed it on the thin border – looks great! While it is very beautiful, I am more impressed by what that had to look like on the lathe.

That is a fine piece Pete. Don’t you get some serious wobble on your lathe when you do this? Either way, amazing outcome.

What a great piece! I’ve done a couple of similar projects and admire that you were able to keep that void in the rim of the bowl shape. So easy to have those totally fall apart. Great work!

Roger, talk about coincidence, I actually made a before and after video of the work turning on the lathe!
It’s now posted with the photos, just scroll to the bottom at: https://plus.google.com/photos/106338834595233608122/albums/5754452780107566321

Thnx Pete. I checked both vids out. Wow, there was some wobble… Had to be a little ruff conquering that, and you certainly did it. Really came out nicely. Very kool.

That is just lovely Pete – you have a great eye for what lay within!
