They aren't much, but I think I have the bowl basics down. The dark one is Sweet gum 4 3/8 x 2.25 and .125 thickness with a beeswax finish on low speed. Light one is White ash 8.25 x 2.625 & .375 thick also in beeswax. Really cool chunk of fleck that looks like a tool mark, but it finished out well using peel and shear cuts. Both blanks came from ebay and were really cheap.

Comments and suggestions please!!!!!

I'd agree, these are the best ones I've seen you post. They both look nice, bit the ash one is my favorite.
 
Yep you are certainly getting it :thumb:

The first one if very much the form of the typical Japanese soup bowl, very nice and the second one is just a classic bowl shape, done with a classic wood, just love that toothy grain :clap:

Well done indeed, keep them coming! :wave:
 
They are both lovely, but that white ash really made the hair stand up on the back of my neck - that grain pattern on the bottom looks sorta like butterfly wings.
