Trifern,

This is a wonderful looking bowl. You have really come far in a short period of time with your turning skills.

Thanks for the post. I enjoyed this one.

Trifern, I’ll have to echo the comments above. This is a great turning! The grain in this bowl is absolutely incredible!...and ranks right up there with your “Crotch Honey” and “Red Burl” bowls.

Thanks for posting it and keep them coming!

Gorgeous, Trifern!

You and Alin have this bowl-turning business down pat. :-)

Trifern, after reviewing your projects, you either have incredibly good luck in finding gorgeous wood, or (more likely!) you have an amazing eye and a talent for revealing the natural beauty within the wood.

Either way, I’m a fan. Another beautiful piece.

Man there is nothing wrong with that Grizzly you bought. If it performs on heavy wood like this you don’t need another lathe, and if you do I’ll buy this one off you. It does as nice as my Delta if not better. Once again I knew you would make it happen, just beautiful. Ever tried burning some lines in it or rings. Would you send me a pm on what you’re getting for them. Love how the top turns in on itself. mike

Thank you for all the nice comments.

Another wonderful piece of art. What a miracle wood, in it’s myriad guises, is. Nothing tops Big Leaf Maple for me (except maybe spalted Big Leaf).

This is so awesome. I love it.
