Thanks again. It was a toss up between this one and the ambrosia maple. Of course I love turning walnut especially when I can manipulate it to get the grain to show as it is.
Bernie,
You always seem to have such nice bottoms on your bowls... (I always look to see how the bottoms are finished - I think the bottom finish is the mark of a real craftsman - once saw a turner's work in a gallery over in NC who was supposed to be a really high dollar artist and his bottoms weren't even finished at all - my opinion was that it detracted from the piece)...
how do you mount your bowls.. do you use a waste block or a tenon on the bottom?? I don't do many waste blocks because I start with rough blanks most of the time, face plate mount and either do a tenon or a recessed cut for the chucks.
Another nice one, Bernie. Great job. Did you turn it wet, or start with dried stock?
