I have not been turning much lately, so I decided to try a bowl yesterday afternoon. This is the result. It is 8” wide by 5” tall and is made from Box Elder. It is finished with a wipe-on poly. It is a simple, clean rounded bowl design.

Box elder, very nice! Yes, very nice design. The orange colors mix well with the greys giving a very unique look. Kudos!

The wood, the design, the color, and the finish: I like the one the best. How do you keep turning them out?

Joe, that is really nice! I love the colors. I was kind of wondering if your lathe broke, we’ve been missing your postings.

(This reminds me, I have some box elder pen blanks I need to use.)

Thanks for all the nice comments. I actually turned this with a broken tool rest. I hope to be back turning soon.

Joe, boy how ironic is that?...even though I suggested your lathe may be broke, I of course will deny any rumors that I had anything to do with it. :)

Seriously, I hope they get a new tool rest out to you soon. I have a Grizzly tablesaw and have purchased a few other items from them. From my experience they’ve always been real responsive.

Fantastic job Joe, you never cease to amaze me. No kidding, you make some of the finest looking bowls I’ve ever seen and you are so consistant. Very cool. Mike in St. Louis.

Trifern, Very nice job! I was also looking at some of the other bowls you created and they are remarkable. You truly have a gift for turning. You should make a video!
