I just finished another HF from the last of the wood I had from worm tracks #1. It is a little larger than # 1. The second bowl is a large open form I turned from some ambrosia maple. It is 17" in dia.
Thanks,
Jack

The stain in this maple is hard to beleave. It's going to be a long wait for it to dry. The largest bowl is around 17" IN DIA. The wood is solid as well.
Thanks,
Jack

There was a challenge to turn a mushroom on one of the other turning sites, so I turned this for it. I've made some like this in the past. This one is turned from a piece of apple. It is 5" inches tall. It makes for a shallow box b...

I just finished this yesterday and thought the wood grain turned out so well I wanted to have a little fun and see how many fellow turners could guess the wood type.

Here is a picture of the boxelder form I helped one of my High School students save from a large very rotten boxelder burl he brought in. It was like turning cardboard. We had to soak it 3 or 4 times with deft to ever get a finial cut. ...

I came up with this form while helping one of my high school students save a bowl out of a large rotten boxelder burl he brought in. I liked the shape we came up with on his bowl so much that I had to turn one using this form. This one...
