You keep cranking these beautiful bowls out Van. Congrats on picking up another show.

Thanks, Eric! One of the things that’s really helping with these bowls is the wipe-on poly versus that thick stuff I used when I first started out.

Very nice! So no lathe used on any part of the bowl?

-- Ron, Northern Illinois

Great work “finding” the beauty in that chunk!
Leaving the frothy looking edge on the rim and the contouring at the ends (almost like handles) really sets this one apart.

Happy hunting!

Seeing your bowls is making me try to get some free time so I can head to the shop! Beautiful piece! Thanks for sharing!

-- Ben

Thank you … and, yes, no lathe.

Thanks, Splint. I always leave a little of the trunk or branch because that’s where cracks and splits are most likely to develop. If the splits have some space to develop, they often don’t spread into the bowl proper.
