Post Oak, Still Simple Turning?

[Dee2]

This burl was donated by an NCWW member (I'll let him confess) . I think he was testing me. How did I do?

C&C welcome.
Thanks for looking.

P.S. Started turning green maple and green river birch so not to much to show of those for a few months. Still, I'm behind posting some finished turnings.

Very much a Wabi-sabi art form. I love it!

 

[Dee2]

Thank you. Had to look that one up. I’ve led a sheltered life!

Very nice work, Gene! You passed the test. I don't know how you kept that in one piece while turning. I'm glad you rose to the challenge (You're welcome, BTW).

 

[Dee2]

Thank you Jim!

Ooooooo, spaghetti oak burl. I've trying to get my hands on that for many, many moons. Looks good.

Maybe I should name this: "Air Bowl with Oak Embellishment"

 

[creasman]

"Burly Bowl Full of Holes"

 

[Dee2]

Well, I like that, too.

I really like the bark inclusions, glad they didn't fall off during turning! Nice job!

What do you do with all of your turnings? Display them at home?

 

[Dee2]

But the bark inclusions did fall out. Think that all the voids were full of bark. I stopped thinning walls to retain some inclusions.

What do I do wth turnings? Aggravate mgmt!. Sell some. Give away some. Daughter takes some.
