Thanks, guys.

mrtrim: the only info I could find is that it’s native to Oregon and Northern California. I didn’t read much else.

Charlie: I’m getting pretty good at the strawberries, but that pomegranate really gave me fits.

Blake: you’re too kind.

Mot,

This is nice, but I agree with you; it would have made a nice box.

Just kidding – great job! Way to get back in the shop and make something!

Stunning grain and nice box you turned here but, whre’s the lid? ;o)

Nice job Tom. Interesting grain pattern. I was reading about the wood and noticed that they say that the leaves have quite an aroma (True Bay leaf). Did the wood smell when you turned it?

I agree its an A+. Maybe it was a B and your photography put it over the top! (Wink)

Thanks again folks. I’m not sure the aroma was anything to note. The wood was pretty dry. I think the bowl looks better in the hand than in picture, so maybe it gets an upgrade….I dunno. I was just happy to actually pull something out of the shop.

Tom. The bowl is a keeper. And the fruit makes it outstanding.

Wow those are huge strawberries Tom.

Or is it a small bowl? I’m going A+ also.

Nice job!
