Cherry is a favorite wood of mine, but never tried to turn a bowl with it, Thanks for the inspiration.

Very nice work, I love that deep dark stain you gave it, it looks beautiful. I’ll have to try it. Congratulatoms.

Very nice! Although I’m finding that all my tools need to be very sharp no matter what the wood.

Nice looking bowl. I agree with Kerux, sharp tools are a must regardless. Thank you for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Very nice! Love turning cherry.

A real classic. Beautiful shape and color.

Kerux & Trifern,

There is sharp and then there is sharp… My point was that I believe with the Cherry you should stop and touch up more often than with other woulds I had encountered. Even though the tools were “fairly” sharp they would still tear the fibers rather than slice. Of course this could be due to the fact that this wood was dry not green, which as you know makes a big difference as well.

Don’t you just love how many of the terms and phrases we use are so subjective? :)

Have Fun!

-- Chris

Beautiful job Chris!

I don’t turn but I always enjoy a well done piece. This IS a well done piece. I love the proportions, wood selection and the finish.

that is a very sweet bowl …love the shape and color of it and the walls look very thin at the top…kind of delicate .

Nice job…

Excited to see your bowl, I have a buddy that just let me know that he had a cherry tree come down…and he is sliding some wood my way…

Thanks for the tip on the sharp tools…

I will let you know how my turns out…
