Gads. I did a walnut bowl and put eight little maple dots in the bottom and thought I had done something. If I ever get as good as you my shop won't be able to hold my ego.
That's a great look to your bowl there Chas.... I keep looking at your work and thinking I need to get off my duff and give it a try... maybe this spring after all my holiday shows I can work on them for next year... keep up the good work... you're a great inspiration.
