They all look real nice, Ken. I think the fourth one is my favorite. :thumb:

Since you asked for critiques, my suggestion would be to look into getting a photo tent (or other backdrop setup) and a couple lights so you can show off your beautiful work better. ;)
 
Very nice!

All those bowls are very nice and different from each other. Was it hard to turn the free form one? I just watched a video on doing the 'natural' edges and free form bowls. It looks like it takes a little more know-how and talent. Good job! :thumb:
 
Joan not really just watch the video and listen about getting up near the bark.Remember the bark will only stay on if the tree was downed in the winter when the sap is down,otherwise after a while the bark will fall off or come flying off while turning.It looks harder then it is but give it a try the worse case is it will have no bark like the one I made.
